"I've never mastered the guitar. Either I was playing it, or it was playing me; it depends how you look at it. As a kid, the only things I had to do was go to school, do my homework, and play guitar."

"I have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly."

"I don't think I'm a difficult person. I just have a strong sense of artistic integrity."

"I don't like to be told what to do."

"Actually, I'm getting one made up with eight necks and I'm going to get a wheelwright to make a big rim around it and then I can do cartwheels off the stage."
