If you're not having fun it's not worth doing.

My family were all musicians. I really wasn't interested in school or anything.

You're in direct contact with the music by having the strings under your fingers. It's not mechanical like a piano.

When I first colored my hair, my mother loved it. I got kicked out of school when I was 15, just for my hair.

I have my own style, but it's different for each kind of music. There are certain little characteristic things every player has.

I want the new band to work together for a while, and when we're ready we'll invite every major record company to see us.

Right now I feel so inspired, it's hard to believe. I've written about 20 songs in the last two days. I'd gone about four months without writing a thing.
