Music is still part of my life, but I hate the idea of people coming to see me play the guitar because they've seen me in movies. You want people who are listening to be only interested in the music.

I wanted to be heard myself, which is hard in a household of people who were very showy. It forced me to find myself and define a personality and a way of being different, and that's a thing that's going to help me to survive in a world of many people playing the guitar.

I'm fine with being thought of as a guitar player, and if I can get any recognition or respect for doing that, that's a pretty good thing for me.

I always thought that I was an important musician. If you don't have that confidence, why would you go on and do it?

I am musical. I play guitar.

I'm not trying to be flippant here, but I just play the guitar, don't I? That is my characteristic, and it's my identity as you hear it.

I had my guitar and some talent so that I could make friends with intelligent people and could talk my way out of difficult situations.

You feel this pressure that people will take you more seriously if you play guitar, but I've decided I'm a singer and that's enough.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm just a guitar player, and my job is to go out there and play and entertain and do my thing.

I'm not a good guitar player.
