I always liked the idea of the guitar - because cowboys played the guitar.

The music has to be affordable. It's the common man that keeps it going, and if you price it out of his realm, it becomes a thing of the elite.

You believe what you want to believe. You see, you don't have to live like a refugee.

The truth is that if you play on TV there is always a sponsor. There is no way around it. I've already passed on so much money I don't worry about it anymore.

I don't believe in censorship, but I do believe that an artist has to take some moral responsibility for what he or she is putting out there.

There was no use pretending, no magic left to hear, all the music gave me was a craving for lite beer.

No matter how long you play the guitar, there's always something else to learn.
