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

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

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.

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.

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

Blues teaches you to develop coherent solos, because the form you're playing over is so basic. You have to develop leads that go someplace.
