Once I was playing and moving around and I fell right on my back. Just straight on my back. It was the most embarrassing moment of my life.

Lots of times it really doesn't matter what notes you play, but what notes come before and after a run.

All the different styles I've played have really helped me as a guitarist and helped me develop my own way of playing.

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

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

I used to listen a lot to Rolling Stones records and play along with them when I was first starting. It's a good way to learn, jamming around basic music.

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