"I've always been a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my music. I want it to be the best it can be."

"I've always been a bit of a dreamer. I believe in the power of imagination."

"But if you want me to knock Kingdom Come, all I will say is that I heard the guitarist said he'd never heard my playing, and I'd defy any guitarist in American not to have heard Led Zeppelin."

"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've always been interested in the unknown."
