I don't have to be a success. I can just try.

There's nothing that can prepare you for fame and for the music business at any point in history.

I feel qualified and competent to try anything that's thrown my way because I don't have to be a success. I can just try.

If it's something that I just can't get anywhere with, even if I think this could be a hit, I just drop it and it doesn't get developed.

Some great experiences I've had and little by little I've come to the realization that everything Frank Zappa told me was the truth, whether I wanted to believe it or not. You know, I was young and naive or in denial. But he really was a special, special human being.

If I had my brothers I think with just a little bit of the correct marketing, I'd like to be almost exclusively in small theaters. You know, to me it's like a church for music. You can sit down and really give yourself to the performance and be comfortable with good surroundings and a clean, quiet atmosphere.

Japan and Europe seem to have a little more cultural education and so the crowds have been a little more big and enthusiastic, and the places I've played seem a little more classy.
