“For a couple of years, I'd work from 6 to 11 P.M., then 1 to 5 A.M., and then got up and tried to go to school. That was pretty rough, but I got a lot of experience playing music.”

“There was a period in my life when I was trying to write standards: songs that everybody recorded. I did a pretty good run of it.”

“My chops have always been sort of weak, because the right side of my body was paralyzed a little bit. It was very limiting. I have to design stuff I can play, and it took me a year and a half to figure out how to hold a guitar pick.”

“I love the sea, and I never mind when it's rough.”

“I'm more into things like rough stones - I like things to look like they are a part of you.”

“I like a little bit of a rough look because it's sexy. But when a man has a rough look, and he goes and gets a cleanup, then it's very sexy as well.”
