Rock guitarists usually do not wish to think trains of thought about anything but their own guitar playing during a long solo, and I could not play this way if I were not able to divide my attention between my ever changing musical environment and my instrument itself.

What's gone will never come back, but it exists when you think of it.

I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.

I think any music of any worth has been done by people who were very interested in the internal process of their soul and their mind that's taking place while they're writing music.

I think an analogue synth is an extension of the natural world.

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.

So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.

I think you get people taking things to excess in all fields, doctors, lawyers - -it happens to all kinds of people.

People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought - the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work - our brains just can't think that fast. At a certain point, you're going on automatic.
