Seeing people's faces, really getting off on them, makes me incredibly happy. Genuinely.

Music is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn’t let me down.

I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.

I don't deal in technique. I deal in emotions.

I can communicate far better on a guitar than I can through my mouth.

Even if I'm gone all day, breakfast is the one meal I always cook for my kids. I make French toast, oatmeal, or an egg burrito.

Cautiously avoid speaking of the domestic affairs either of yourself, or of other people. Yours are nothing to them but tedious gossip; and theirs are nothing to you.

I'm a big fan of Henri Cartier-Bresson, the French photographer who had that whole "decisive moment" approach to taking pictures, of having multiple elements line up within the frame.

Life means nothing to you, at least that's what they say. But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away.
