My songs are more arrangements than they are songs.

A certain death of an artist is overconfidence.

The first real thing I heard was Three O'Clock Blues by B.B. King. That's where it all began for me.

I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.

I didn't want to get attached to one guitar; I didn't want to have an instrument that was irreplaceable.

It all comes down to the density of the wood. Every guitar's different.

I go through about two Fender mediums a night because I don't pick straight down; it's sort of sideways, and it shaves them off.

I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me.

I got a guitar when I was about 14, for a Christmas present, and went from there.

It's impossible to play a run with as much feeling as a single note. I've never been so much into runs as making single notes cry.

When you start believing you're something special, then you're not going to be striving to move forward.

I've always listened to music, since I was really, really young.

I can read music, but I have no technique, and singing was never an option even though I sang a lot growing up.

I was fair-skinned in a country that's about the outdoors.

That's why they're in the problem - having the problem they're having. They're not conservative. They're being run by their donors.

The President has been a big proponent of the public option since the campaign.
