"I just want to be able to play my guitar and make some beautiful sounds for people."

"Imagination is the key to my lyrics. The rest is painted with the brush of sound."

"I'm not trying to be a rock star. I'm just trying to be a musician."

"I wish I could make a sound that would make people's hair stand on end, you know, just like, 'Whoa!'"

"I just want to be honest with myself and with everybody else."
