I play a LITTLE GUITAR, write a few tunes, MAKE a few movies, but none of that's really me. The real me is SOMETHING ELSE.

Except for a few GUITAR chords, EVERYTHING I've LEARNED in my life that is of any value I've learned from WOMEN.

When I'm having a BAD DAY, I PICK up my GUITAR.

Owning a handgun doesn't MAKE you ARMED any more than owning a GUITAR MAKES you a MUSICIAN.

I consider descending chromatic lines and arpeggiated CHORDS basic skills LEARNED by any student of the GUITAR.

My Portuguese uncle had a Portuguese version of a ukulele. The family would PULL it out after dinner and play Portuguese folk songs on it. I couldn't wait for him to finish so I could GET my hands on it. I was seven or eight years old. And he USED to have a Fender amp in his house and an ELECTRIC GUITAR. I would spend hours making sounds.

I LEARNED to PLAY guitar at a YOUNG AGE and converted poems and stuff that I had written to songs.

Guitar solos, to me, should be a really ARTICULATE WAY to make fun of guitar solos.

My BODY is damaged from music in two WAYS. I have a red irritation in my stomach. It's psychosomatic, caused by all the anger and the screaming. I have scoliosis, where the curvature of your spine is bent, and the weight of my GUITAR has made it WORSE. I'm always in PAIN, and that adds to the anger in our music.

'Cruise CONTROL' was the FIRST TRACK me and Wiz Khalifa ever did. I made the beat on that, and I PLAYED guitar on it.
