• ‟ It's important for me not to peak before I hit the stage. In other words, I save all of my creative and physical energy for when I walk on stage.

• ‟ Here's something weird, though: I loved Jimi's music so much that I would never perform it for people. Throughout my teens and playing in various bands, I refused to play Hendrix songs.
