Lean your body forward slightly to support the guitar against your chest, for the poetry of the music should resound in your heart.

There's people making babies to my music. That's nice.

If you want to be a rock star or just be famous, then run down the street naked, you'll make the news or something. But if you want music to be your livelihood, then play, play, play and play! And eventually you'll get to where you want to be.

I came into music just because I wanted the bread. It's true. I looked around and this seemed like the only way I was going to get the kind of bread I wanted.
