The schematics are a little bit tricky, but once you get it down you're able to really program an entire show. Every song has a lot of different guitar sounds in it, so that's what it is.

I'm a bit of a vagabond - a person who loses time and space because you don't know where you are.

Putting your ego aside and confronting your weaknesses and just letting things happen is hard. Not to use a Scientology term, but it's difficult to do an emotional or an artistic audit.

I think anything that you can't poke fun at is a little too precious.

For a brief moment, I considered deconstructing the song and going down a cerebral road, but then I realized it would kill what is most powerful about it.

I don't even wanna say female guitar-players, just guitar-players, because music of all things doesn't need to be gendered and stratified, that's so boring.

I have a lot of guitar heroes I guess, some of them are female and some of them are male. Robert Fripp is one of them, and Marc Ribot, that's another guitar hero.

I have the weirdest job. It's not every day that you get to stand up onstage and unload every ounce of your misanthropic bile onto a crowd of people, and they're like, "Cool! Hit us again!"

I wouldn't say I'm a very technical [guitar] player. I'm more intuitive - it's always more about chasing an abstraction.

All these things that we are very nostalgic for come from a place of technology dictating [art]. This time and place is no different.

An mp3 is a compressed form of data. It's not the full spectrum. It's never going to sound as good as a record.

Be bold, be courageous, be your best.

For as long as I can remember, I've been passionate about music. I can't recall a time when I didn't have music playing in my head.

He who jumps for the moon and gets it not leaps higher than he who stoops for a penny in the mud.

We are all are equal, but some pay higher tax rates than others.

Erase from your mind that your preparation must be perfect. Hard work + dedication = a shot at your dreams. Keep believing.

Heaven help the man who fights his fear.

At long last, the battle has ended! And thus, Ghana, your beloved country is free forever!

Politicians like to tell people what they want to hear - and what they want to hear is what won't happen.

Success is a matter of understanding and religiously practicing specific, simple habits that always lead to success.

Love makes fools of us all, big and little.
