In my opinion, the only way to conquer stage fright is to get up on stage and play. Every time you play another show, it gets better and better.

I used to do crazy things that people would bail me out of, and I'm just grateful that I survived. But the music got very lost; I didn't know where I was going, and I didn't really care. I was more into just having a good time, and I think it showed.

If you hand me a guitar, I'll play the blues. That's the place I automatically go.

Musically I was fed up with the virtuoso thing. Our gigs had become nothing more than an excuse for us to show off as individuals, and any sense of unity we might have had when we started seemed to have gone out the window.

Every time you pick up your guitar to play, play as if it's the last time.

I can't play long solos anymore without boring myself.
