There were some older guitarists on my side of town, and I got to know many of them

I soon gave up instruction for self-teaching

I wish I had a nickel for every song that I've left in the bathroom, written down on a matchbox, or just totally forgotten about

It was more fun trying to figure out I Want To Hold Your Hand than to take lessons. By this time I knew basic chords

I like being on the road, living in hotels. While I've got a real nice house, I go crazy when I'm there.

I don't write on tour. There is so much to do day in and day out when you are on the road.

As a solo artist, I just felt cemented in front of the mike stand. There was very little time to play with the audience and be a band member
