With Pearl Jam everybody is so good at what they do it's hard to get up the courage to say Can I sing this part or I want to play guitar. I feel like I have more courage to do that.

I've always been into guitars... we want to put keyboards on but keyboard players don't look cool onstage they just keep their heads down. There has never been a cool keyboard player apart from Elton John.

Cool things happen. Ace's guitar flies through space goes through a hole and blows up. I throw drumsticks and they come flying at you.

I actually bought a travel guitar and that guitar is really cool. You can actually fold the guitar and you can plug headphones into it but it's acoustic or semi-acoustic.

Now guitar was pretty cool. Everybody knew something on the guitar. So I wanted to play guitar but I told my dad if he wanted me to keep studying something I'd like to study piano.

I'd love to be an artist that's multifaceted. At the moment I am not. But wouldn't that be cool if I was like 'Yeah let me pull out my guitar and play you a song.' I would adore that. I am so far not gifted in that way. But I am a very hard worker and a very determined person so who knows?

I think its so cool that you can pick up the guitar and create something that didn't exist 5 minutes ago. You can write something that no ones ever heard before. You have music at your fingertips.

Can you imagine a guy breaking into your car and he steals your guitar case 'cause he thinks it's a guitar and he gets it home and opens it up and there's a rake inside it an electric toilet plunger and a dog skull? That actually happened.

It was in San Diego and I was onstage and couldn't remember how to play the guitar properly. I was in terrible pain and my nervous system was just going wild like somebody had just run a car over me.

I took guitar a while back and my heart wasn't in it at the time but I'm ready to try it again. I sing in the car at home - it's a huge part of my life especially since I'm from Tennessee.
