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.

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

I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.

I don't deal in technique. I deal in emotions.

I can communicate far better on a guitar than I can through my mouth.

My favorite guitar solo of all time was Elliot Randall's on 'Reelin' In The Years'.

You can't overthink the music. Mood and intensity can't be manufactured. The blues isn't about structure; it's what you bring to it. The spontaneity of capturing a specific moment is what drives it.

I have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly.

I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.

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

The greatest satisfaction is not the decoration. It is knowing that I am able to help someone who needs help.

The powerful chords that emanated from the radio heated me from the inside out, like a microwave.

How true it is that words are but the vague shadows of the volumes we mean. Little audible links, they are, chaining together great inaudible feelings and purposes.

Saying goodbye doesn't mean you need to forget, It doesn't mean you were never loved.It doesn't mean you're weak, It doesn't mean you didn't try hard enough.

I am not trying to be young again. But I do feel the need to capture that energy in story form before it slips from my mind, to recount those adventures if not relive them.

There was probably something as a child I wanted to express, something unsaid that I needed to share.

I would never become an alcoholic like my father because my father deserted us. But diseases, there's no let up.

I went from a very pessimistic person to a very optimistic person sort of overnight, which is very weird. It's not even the success of my shows. I think it's the lifestyle change, I really do.

The Gospel is not a fire insurance policy for the next world, but a life assurance policy for this world.

We had given it a name, a substance, and somehow, in doing that, we had condemned ourselves.

Bleak House by Charles Dickens is my favourite book.
