The best money I made was panhandling.

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

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.

I started on drums when I was 13 and played them for two years. Then I went to guitar for a year, played keyboards for a year and a half, and went back to guitar.

I can't see. I used to wear glasses off stage. Now I'm thinking of getting a pair of contract lenses.

You're in direct contact with the music by having the strings under your fingers. It's not mechanical like a piano.

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