Music is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn’t let me down.

There's a certain standard in classical music that allows the application of the term genius, but you're treading on thin ice if you start applying it to rock & rollers.

I'm attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.

I love playing. If it was down to just that, it would be utopia.

Artists say that paintings are never done. I sort of feel the same way about music. I would never say something is perfect. There are performances that can generate a lot of emotion in me when I hear them, but I can't say if anything is perfect.

My guitar style was developed during that 10-year period. That's me. That's the way I play, and I don't wish to play any other way. Our own individual identities are firmly stamped on this album.

Once I got a guitar that was relatively user-friendly, but not super-duper easy, I really came on as a guitarist, at that point. It helped. It was a super-expensive guitar either, but something needs to steer you a bit, if you're playing an instrument that is really hard.

I'm at my best when I'm exhausted and under pressure.

I'm still searching for an angel with a broken wing. It's not very easy to find them these days.

I'm over 30 now, but I didn't expect to be here.

I do not worship the devil. But magic does intrigue me. Magic of all kinds. I bought Crowley's house to go up and write in. The thing is, I just never get up that way. Friends live there now.

You can't buy time. Everything, for me, seems to be a race against time. Especially musically.
