“I think there are so, so, so, so many things you have to be... to do t...” — John 5 Quote

I think there are so, so, so, so many things you have to be... to do this... you know, to keep going in the music business. Of course, you have to play well with others, you know, and you have to be smart with business and be good at your craft and be healthy.

I know singers; I've worked with some of the greatest singers in the world.

I'll watch the Grammys and think, 'You hardly even see people playing guitar,' and it freaks me out.

I know it is one of the most important instruments and inventions, the electric guitar, to me, since television or movies or anything like that.

I would hear Steely Dan on the radio all the time, and I listened to 'Aja' a lot. I mean, 'Black Cow' and 'Aja' and 'Deacon Blues' and 'Josie' and 'Peg'... all these songs are on one record. It's crazy!

I wound up getting offered a job at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory where I invented a power supply mechanism for the Galileo space craft which was in orbit around Jupiter until 2003.

I worked harder at my craft, and it took some time, but here I am today doing what I want to do, which is entertain people.

My priorities are God, my family, my business and my craft.

Bad improv happens with people who are inexperienced with each other and don't know the craft that well. But bad stand-up is something that could happen to someone at any level in their career.

I probably learned most of my craft from singing to the radio.
