With Crazy Horse, it's all one big, growing, smoldering sound, and I'm part of it. It's like gliding, or some sort of natural surfing.
I like it if people enjoy what I'm doing, but if they don't, I also like it. I sometimes really like aggravating people with what I do. I think it's good for them.
There's a lot of frustration in trying to get music out when you're the only one who hears it, especially if you have something in your head that's not normal.
Listen to your own voice. Don't listen to someone else's. To me the way to live is to always move forward - to keep searching for whatever it is that interests you.
My career is built around a pattern that just keeps repeating itself over and over again. There's nothing surprising about it at all. My changes are as easy to predict as the sun coming up and down.
You know how the press is: If I mention one mistake, that's the only thing that bothers me unless I mention all the other ones.
Rock and roll is here to stay.

I need a new unit to sample and hold, but not an angry one, a new design, new design.
Imagination is my best friend.
You are like a hurricane, there's calm in your eyes, and I'm getting blown away.
