I Was Impressed By Hendrix. His Attitude

But You Have To Give Your Whole Life To A Cello. When I Realized That, I Went Back To The Guitar And Just Turned The Volume Up A Bit Louder.

When You're Recording, If You're Not Really Clean In Your Playing, It Sounds Like A Mess.

I'm Definitely Not A Guy That Comes In The Dressing Room Saying, "hey, Everybody, What A Wonderful Life." I'm Usually Brooding About Something I Think Is Wrong. I Care So Much About Getting The Music Right, And If I Think Someone's Slacking I Get Very Upset About That. I Just Can't Go On Stage And Say, "another Day, Another Dollar," Which I've Heard A Few People Say: I Can't Go Along With That At All. It's Got To Be As Good As You Can Do - To My Own Detriment.

I've Always Played Every Amp I've Ever Had Full Up, Because Rock And Roll Is Supposed To Be Played Loud. Also, That's How You Get Your Sustain.

If You Can Play Well In The Studio, You Can Play Well On Stage.
