I don't like to practice; I like spontaneity. When I don't play guitar for a week and I pick it up again, I play better.

I'll get up there and I'll do my guitar solos in one of those space outfits.

I went to my friend's house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I'm in love.

Whenever I start to really think about what I'm playing, I may play it better musically, but the feeling isn't there.

It's always great playing with other musicians. It's also a great situation where I'm the older guy, I've influenced generations of guitar players.

My life has been a roller coaster ride, but somehow I've always been able to land on my feet and still play the guitar.
