I regard myself as a beautiful musical instrument, and my role is to contribute that instrument to scripts worthy of it.

It was very satisfying knowing I could come in not really knowing what I was going to do, and at the end of the session feeling that I'd really done interesting guitar work and knowing that I'd really contributed to the music.

I loved playing the guitar and I knew I was pretty good at it, so that's what I wanted to do with my life.

I loved the guitar, and I had all of this music in my head. My passion for the guitar and the ideas for what I could create musically were equal. So that's where I was.

I really wanted to be a musician, but it turned out I had no sense of time.

I consider my musical ability to be a gift from the Creator. It's not that I try to work hard or nothing like that, it's a gift, it was given to me, and I appreciate it.

I became a musician because I love music, and that is what has sustained me; it's not because I thought it was a great way to make a living. Music saved my life.

Setting my mind on a musical instrument was like falling in love. All the world seemed bright and changed.

I wanted to play in a band, and I wanted to do music for a living, and that's what I dedicated my life to.

What motivates me is just to do a really, really good job at something. If I were a better musician, I probably would've ended up as one.
