Any guitar solo should reflect the music that it's soloing over and not just be existing in its own sort of little world.

When the intellectual part of guitar playing overrides the spiritual, you don't get to extreme heights.

I tend to overthink things. I'm not the guy who screams 'This is a world smash!' when I finish a song.

The world don't need any more songs... As a matter of fact, if nobody wrote any songs from this day on, the world ain't gonna suffer for it... There's enough songs for people to listen to, if they want to listen to songs. For every man, woman and child on earth, they could be sent, probably, each of them, a hundred songs, and never be repeated... Unless someone's gonna come along with a pure heart and has something to say. That's a different story.

Roy Orbison is the greatest singer in the world.

Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand.
