Richard Lloyd of Television is one of my favorite guitarists. His mentor was Jimi Hendrix when he was just 14. Jimi was always pounding everything he knew into that kid.

I wasn't originally a bass player. I just found out I was needed, because everyone wants to play guitar.

Many Japanese painters and calligraphers would change their names intentionally to keep their relationship to the art always fresh. This way, others' expectations can be avoided.

Being able to allow people to be who they are without trying to change them is important.

We don't always know what we're doing. We often just get excited, put something down, and say, 'Oh, neat'.
