I'm not afraid of death. That is the greatest mystery of all. That'll be it, that one. But it is all a race against time.

It's interesting when something new comes along, a band of dwarfs playing electronic harps or something, but I'm not searching.

I had another idea of getting a traveling medicine wagon with a dropdown side and traveling around England. That might sound crazy to you, but over there it's so rural you can do it.

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.
