The element of change has been the thing, really. We put out the first one, then the second... then a third LP totally different from them. It's the reason we were able to keep it together.

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.

My favorite guitar solo of all time was Elliot Randall's on 'Reelin' In The Years'.

You can't overthink the music. Mood and intensity can't be manufactured. The blues isn't about structure; it's what you bring to it. The spontaneity of capturing a specific moment is what drives it.

I have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly.

I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.

The greatest satisfaction is not the decoration. It is knowing that I am able to help someone who needs help.

Leaders know where they can function better. They don’t cry over what they cannot do.

It would be nice to live off the land and fix cars.

I always view my music like a city at night, like Atlanta. I view my music in lights. So Far Gone would be my experiences in Toronto at night.

Today - and it's happening very rapidly - money, wealth, position, birth are of no importance at all. The thing that is important is the individual you are.

I never think of the completed film, rather the adventure of what I'm about to live.

You cannot make a business case that you should be who you are not

I hate it when there's a good movie, someone overhypes it and I'm disappointed that I don't like it more.

The future started yesterday, and we're already late.

It is in the hard, hard rockpile labor of seeking to win, hold, or deserve a reader's interest that the pleasant agony of writing again comes in.

To refuse awards is another way of accepting them with more noise than is normal.
