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

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

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

I just started off on my own by learning the regular chords then the barre chords. Then I'd lean the notes that would go with them.

For me, practice isn't doing scales but doing things like writing, jamming with other people, or playing gigs.

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

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