“I always thought of myself as a guitarist and that's all I ever wanted to be. I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd be a songwriter too.”

“When you're in a band with three other people, you have to be able to compromise.”

“I think the blues will always be around. People need it.”

“I wanted to try and get a flamenco sound in rock and roll.”

“Jim Morrison was a poet. But he was a great singer, too.”

“The first album is a classic, but I think the second album, 'Strange Days,' is our best. It's more of a band effort.”

“Actually, I think my finest moments in the Doors were on the 'L.A. Woman' album.”

“There's the blues, and then there's zippity-doo-dah.”

“We always tried to do something different on every album.”

“The whole trick is to make it feel like you're not working.”

“The thing about playing guitar, if you're going to be a guitarist, is you have to practice.”

“It was jazz that made me want to play.”

“I'd like to be remembered as a good guitarist.”
