You've got certain guys that just want to be famous and then you've got the real musicians that just love playing music.

You had better love the music... because sometimes the music doesn't love you.

Great musicians, you don't just hear them, you feel them. When I listen to Randy Rhoads, I feel every note. I learned a lot from him.

You have to pay attention, like with tours and expenses; you have to factor that all in. You want to play music for the rest of your life, you have to pay attention to all the things. You want to know what's always going on.

If I'm playing with Ozzy it's just a guitar thing. But with the vocals I feel like I'm studying for the SATs.

Since day one my thing has always been to play the music.
