It is fun to smash guitars.

Guitar is great for a certain thing, but a piano is so much more expansive.

When I was first starting out, you'd have to bang an old upright piano and stick a mike in it and it would always feed back and you could never turn it up loud enough to be heard and I would beat my hands black and blue and bloody.

I had been playing single note instruments and I wanted to hear a guitar played as a piano.

I wanted to play the piano, but my fingers weren't long enough, so I took up the guitar.

It's cool to play the guitar, but to me it's even cooler to scratch a guitar backward and forward, to manipulate it with a turntable. Guitars can't do that themselves.

I've never broken a piano. However, I've been banned from particular clubs for breaking piano strings.

Everyone gets frustrated and aggressive, and I'd sooner take my aggression out on a guitar than on a person.

That it's a lot harder to make a keyboard sound not-cheesy than a guitar.

If a guitar is too easy for me to play, it makes me too laid back. I like to battle with my guitar.
