You don't want to be so far off the planet that you come out with something that doesn't make sense to anybody.

Coming from the era of vinyl you could argue that everything went wrong in the music business the moment we went digital. The day the first CD came out, it all went downhill in the music industry. Digital destroyed everything.

Usually, the best thing is when the band goes to the bar and gets the corner table, we sit there like kings, and then they bring people to us. It's just rock 'n' roll. It's stupid, really.

You're on the stage and you've got all those people yelling at you, so you better be right in the moment, reacting to that. It's completely live and organic. Even 20 years later, it's the same thing. You may be even better on your instrument. Hopefully, you are.

For me, the guitar synthesizer is a great writing instrument.

I'm just trying to avoid any sort of generic kind of music - I don't want to do generic jazz or fusion.

What I wanted to do was play the guitar but I don't like instrumental rock. I think it is tripe.

If you're a guitarist, you should not be intimidated by using your instrument as a synthesizer, but you shouldn't feel that you have to own one, either.

I spend a lot of time working as a painter and in my studio I go from upstairs where I paint to downstairs where I play and record, so I get this thing crossing over.

I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.

Aping what you've already done is just so dangerous and unrewarding.

What you aim for, in the first place, is to be as good as you can possibly be. This is what I do, and I'm going to try to be the best in the world.
