Many people in the neighborhood liked hip-hop and house music, and I couldn't play that. You can't perform that on guitar or drums, which was what I was playing, at the time. But, I got so much from mariachi bands that were constantly playing in the neighborhood.

I'm very fortunate because I love what I'm doing.

If you are on to something creative, school can also inhibit you. The wrong teacher, man, can really mess you up.

The idea of a hypnotic riff as the prime mover of a piece of music has been around for a long time, whether you're talking about the Delta blues or music from Middle Eastern and African cultures.

I know where I'm going musically. I can see my pattern and I'm going much slower than I thought I'd be going.

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.

No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

I don't go walking into things blind.

There's always music that moves me. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's within the parenthesis of rock or blues, or whatever. It's usually far more reaching than that. It can be in many different genres.

Every musician wants to do something which will hold up for a long time, and I guess we did it with 'Stairway to Heaven.'

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

There's music that can affect people in their lives, and they will always relate to the point that they heard it and experienced it, either if you're playing it or you're receptive, as an audience.

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.

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. Just drop down the side and play through big battery amps and mixers and it can all be as temporary or as permanent as I want it to be.

Let me explain something about guitar playing. Everyone's got their own character, and that's the thing that's amazed me about guitar playing since the day I first picked it up. Everyone's approach to what can come out of six strings is different from another person, but it's all valid.

I deal in emotions. It's the harmonic side that's important. That's the side I expected to be much further along on than I am now. That just means to say that I've got to keep at it.

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

I can only listen to what I'm working on, at the time. I can't listen to anything else because I don't want to copy it.
