"I don't know what the future holds, but I'm ready for anything."

"I'm just doing my own thing, and if people like it, that's great. If they don't, that's fine too."

"I don't want you to play me a riff that's going to impress Joe Satriani; give me a riff that makes a kid want to go out and buy a guitar."

"I'm not a politician, I'm an entertainer."
