I'll play drums a lot at home, and it will help my wrist action.

I'll hear something in my head, then eventually play it. But it's a subconscious thing. Most of the time I really don't know what I'm playing.

I don't like English bands. They're too structured.

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

I think the way I play the guitar is very percussive. I play a lot of rhythm chops as though I were playing congas or something.

When I'm with Purple, I'm totally with Purple; when I'm doing my thing, I'm totally doing my own thing.
