I was given all of my dad's guitars when he passed, and they were being stored at the house. My mother decided they were hers again, and she took them all back, and now they're going up for auction.

But the reality is when you write a song, you should be able to strip away all the instruments and just have a song right there with an acoustic guitar and a voice, and the song should be good.

The music that is played on the radio all the time or written about in magazines has nothing to do with musicianship.

There are so many things that are misunderstood or not recognized about my father's music because they've been filtered by people who work for magazines like Rolling Stone.

I really want younger audience members to see kids in their early 20's playing Frank's music and to be inspired to take things to a higher level themselves.

I would love to expose multiple younger generations to Frank's music. It's not an easy task because It's not ever going to be plastered all over the radio for the masses.

I liked a lot of the things other people liked - Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Van Halen, AC/DC - but if I compared it to my dad's music, there just seemed to be elements missing.

Just because something has tubes doesn't mean it's the best. I mean, tubes are obviously good, but the circuit of this thing is designed well and it sounds good.

I feel that through my father's music I've found my own voice in my own playing.

I'm game for anything fun.

I don't care about a social life.

Every reader exists to ensure for a certain book a modest immortality. Reading is, in this sense, a ritual of rebirth.

The only battle to win is the battle within, that place where we realize that we deserve to have and create all that we want in our lives.

For me, writing historical fiction is all about finding a balance between reading, traveling, looking, imagining, and dreaming.

Disease is a dynamic process. It has a beginning - slow or sudden - develops, reaches in many cases an acme, and ends in recovery or death.

I'm an angel not a frickin' saint.

All human beings have the capability of doing what they want, what they're attracted to.

The greatest gift God gave us is the power to make decisions.

Everything in life has let me down.

Above the clouds the sky is always blue.

Let the fruition of things bless the possession of them, and take no satisfaction in dying but living rich.
