Never give up on a good thing, never give up, never give up!

I have been doing music all my life so everyday when I get up I expect music will be part of it.

The melody is the most important thing that must stay in the minds of the people who listen to you. No matter how many notes you play, you can't let them forget what the song is.

As my career has progressed, I've had the pleasure of playing with the baddest jazz cats on the planet. But that doesn't change my desire to entertain folks. That's really who I am.

I spent a lot of time teaching myself theory and harmony so I could be free to express myself on the instrument.

The greatest teacher is just going out and playing.

Love songs are one of the great essences of life, the only thing thats lasting.

The less one remembers about the day before, the more the new day will be unfettered by triviality.

The greatest guitar player in the world today for me is Paco de Lucia, who is actually Spanish.

The solitude of writing is also quite frightening. It's quite close to madness, one just disappears for a day and loses touch.

I am somewhat exhausted

It's only water, " she said."Tell that to a drowning man, " Giddon said.

'Metals' has partly been about me regaining my self respect and I feel like I'm growing the muscles I want to grow again.

I think I'm the kind of person who would be very difficult to employ - I'm pretty annoying, but driven.

I may not look it when I'm playing, but I think I'm a fun guy to hang with when I'm relaxing.

I'm fairly well off. I can't poor-mouth that away from people's sensibilities about me, which is something I worry about as an actor. But it would be real stupid of me to do something for the money.

I wanted to jeopardize my own image. With my image I had already produced art pieces such as videos of photographs.

Religion is the great balm of existence because it takes us outside ourselves, connects us to something larger

I was alarmed at my doctor's report: He said I was sound as a dollar.
