I learned a lot about lead; you don't have to blow your cookies in the first bar. It is much harder to be simple that to be complicated during solos.

I blew my voice out and the doctor said, don't even talk for a week.

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.

A lot of times I wish I would have learned to read music, but I'm very impatient.

How do you stop somebody from growing?

I used to try and take things in leaps and bounds. Now I've realized it's got to be step by step.

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