Who I am as a guitarist is defined by my failure to become Jimi Hendrix.

All I want a song to do is just to kind of present an idea.

A little bit of summer is what the whole year is all about.

I need some kind of emotional stake in it to write my lyrics, assuming that place. It might just be an emotion I understand but am not currently experiencing necessarily.

A man's got two shots for jewelry: a wedding ring and a watch. The watch is a lot easier to get on and off than a wedding ring.

I know the heart of life is good.

I believe in blues, and I believe that it's been misrepresented.

I am who I am because of Dave Matthews Band.

I scientifically engineer my music to be as accessible as possible.

I am invincible, as long as I'm alive.

Fender Custom Shop made this nickel plated Stratbelieve it or not, it sounds incredible.

Belief is a beautiful armor, but it makes for the heaviest sword.

I'm not an icon. Not even in America.

Most times when you try to be all things to all people, you end up being nothing.

Look, demanding somebody do anything in this day and age is not going to fly.

Don't be scared to walk alone. Don't be scared to like it.

There's a constantly applicable nature to soul music, whereas sometimes pop music can be a periodical.

I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock.

I get recognized somewhere in between like local meteorologist and national meteorologist.

I've always said I've got the coolest fans, and I brag about you like grandchildren when I talk to other artists.
