I enjoy playing the band as the band. I 'be' the whole band and I'm playing the drums, I'm playing the guitar, I'm playing the saxophone. To me, the most wonderful thing about playing music is that.
Being 16 years old and getting an electric guitar is never going to get old. There's always going to be kids making music. There's always going to be kids in bands.
My real interest in music was the old 78 records and the sound of the music. I loved it and began to realize that one of the main sounds on those old records I loved was the guitar.
The first song that made me interested in music was 'Oh, Pretty Woman' by Roy Orbison. It was the guitar intro, that riff, that I really liked and made me listen in a different way.
I had a big background in listening to classical music and I started trying to compose, like I was playing the guitar but I heard an orchestra in my head.
As a kid, I was into music, played guitar in a band. Then I started acting in plays in junior high school and just got lost in the puzzle of acting, the magic of it. I think it was an escape for me.
I began playing drums when I was seven and guitar when I was fourteen, but it wasn't until the early '90s that I took music seriously.
I just loved classical music, but I also loved playing rock guitar, and I loved playing piano, so it was a natural thing that those things would merge at some point.
I guess I was a child actor. Acting was one of the things I did alongside going to school: I'd be playing guitar, I'd be playing soccer, and I would be acting in movies.
My parents signed me up for classical guitar lessons, which made for two years of the most depressing Wednesday evenings.
I will concentrate on playing guitar, on lyrics and on singing. I am a part of things; I am not the encompassing 'Smog.'
I never had a real job either. I sort of fell out of school and ended up playing guitar.
And as far as guitars go, I loved Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West's stuff.
The best player I ever played with was Dennis Johnson.
I am nothing without the players.
I was always a closet blues player.
I try to win every tournament.
I keep lot of my opinions to myself.
I am not a player.
I don't give players a chance to hit me.
The courts are as a stage, people love to see attractive players.
