I've been called 'musically schizophrenic,' and some people think that's a cool thing.

All I can do is do what I can do, and do what I know how to do. I do what I love to do, and that's pretty much it.

I know that I'm capable of moving around on the guitar. I can express myself the way I want to and feel good about it. But as far as technical chops, I'm not a learned musician.

There's nothing like a music festival. People are ready to have a good time. I don't think anyone comes to a festival going, 'I'm gonna be a complete bummer today.

I don't think anything can touch the expressive range of the guitar.

Music is soaking up things that I see in other people or things that go on in my life, and I put it out there in the form of a song.

When I was growing up, I would go hang out with older guys at night in blues clubs.

Most of my songs start out as being very aggressive and guitar-driven.

When I got my first guitar, I played along with everything I heard that had guitar in it, like the Ramones, Nirvana and Sublime, as well as whatever hip-hop and R&B stuff was on the radio.

I am the type of artist where you can't tell me anything. I have always been that way. I am right. I don't need any input.

I don't believe in competition, ain't nobody else like me around

To love someone is nothing, to be loved by someone is something, to love someone who loves you is everything.

Autumn is really the best of the seasons; and I'm not sure that old age isn't the best part of life.

More people have done good in the name of God than any other way

Nothing is so obvious that it's obvious.

There's nothing weak about being subject to something.

We should greatly err, if we endeavoured to force all ancient nature into a close comparison with existing operations.

Credit leads a man into temptation. Cash down is the only thing that will deliver him from evil.

Didn't need the user icon to know you're white and male.

The beliefs that we use to define our own individuality, what makes us unique - good, bad, or indifferent - from other individuals.

I am about the arrangements and the layers of depth in the music.
