I'm An Egomaniac With An Inferiority Complex.

I Don't Know If I Believe In Luck. I Think I'm Very Fortunate.

It's Been Very Important Throughout My Career That I've Met All The Guys I've Copied, Because At Each Stage They've Said, 'don't Play Like Me, Play Like You.'

From The Beginning, I Knew Intuitively That If Nothing Else, Music Was Safe, And That Nobody Could Tell Me Anything About It. Music Didn't Need A Middleman, Whereas All The Other Things In School Needed Some Kind Of Explanation.

Yeah, It Is, Because It's A Real Discovery Of Your Inner Resources, You Know. That's What My Character Is All About And What My Playing Is All About. But To Get Up There And Just Go Inside And Draw Out Something That Makes You Feel Good First And Foremost.

When I Look For What I'm Going To Listen To I Go Backwards. I'm Always Going The Other Way You See. Most People Are Trying To Figure Out 'how Do I Get In The Fast Lane Going That Way?'. I'm Going In The Other Direction. I Wanna Find The Oldest Thing To Do.
