I got married to an amazing woman, had 2 awesome kids and toured with Jeff Beck, I can die a happy man now.

An element I love about the blues is jamming with other musicians.

Touring with Brian May was like a dream come true that happened early in my career. He inspired me with the way he harmonized and layered his guitar sounds.

May was so great to work with, he even took me over to Japan for some dates. It blew me away when he let me play his guitar on stage with him.

When I started out jumping around with a tennis racket, I never thought I would end up on a list of the best guitar players in the world. It makes me feel proud of the hard work I've put in.

I'm still constantly learning and that's what keeps me excited about the guitar.

Whenever I eat a meal, I always leave the last bite on my plate. I don't know why, it's just a thing with me.

How could we be sorrow, if there is a song?

Motivation can't take you very far if you don't have the legs.

Love has its place, as does hate. Peace has its place, as does war. Mercy has its place, as do cruelty and revenge.

Anything you see on the screen was at one point approved by me.

Sometimes you need to trust those around you because they may see something in you that you can't see

Working on a studio picture, I can't help but be aware of all the political stuff that's going on. I have to work to be able to survive, in a sense.

I would love to do some characters that have greater vulnerability. I don't know why. I know I can play these roles, but they're certainly not the only roles I can play.

You can't cure a chipped plate. All you can do is live with it or throw it out.

I made 'Empire of the Sun' in Shanghai in the 1980s and want to come back one day to make a movie in China.

Old friendships are like meats served up repeatedly, cold, comfortless, and distasteful. The stomach turns against them.
