‘In the beginning when I started playing, I wanted an instrument that I could blow on and I’ve now found a way of getting something that I want out of the guitar. About 2 or 3 years ago I basically rediscovered the guitar, if you know what I mean, because I started to find a way of expressing myself through the guitar. In a way the instrument doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter what it is really, whether it’s a saxophone, a '''violin''', anything, there’s always a way of trying to find something from it. What I didn’t want to do is sound like somebody else.’ | ‘In the beginning when I started playing, I wanted an instrument that I could blow on and I’ve now found a way of getting something that I want out of the guitar.

The violin is definitely a hobby because I never touch it. I haven't played it since I played that solo on the IOU album. I practiced a lot at one time, but I stopped. I don't seem to have enough time to do what I want to do on the guitar. | |||
