Music was everything. Now it is just not as important as it used to be. When I was growing up, where everyone was trying to outdo each other by being more outrageous and sounding more different, now there is a homogeneous sameness to it all.

I think, as you get older, you reflect at the silliness of your youth and the stupidity of some of the decisions that were made, and the ego and whatnot, or whatever played into it.

Steve Lukather

Nobody loves everybody.

Henley's one of my favorite singers. I've maintained a friendship with Don over the years.

Steve Lukather

That's all that matters in music: fun.

Steve Lukather

I really try to play to my strengths, man. I'm never going to be Guthrie Govan: he's a brilliant player.

Steve Lukather

People like our stuff, some people hate it, but that's like anything, right? Some people love donuts, some people are allergic to 'em.

Steve Lukather

I ain't the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I've dedicated my life to music since I was 7 and my dad bought me a guitar and the 'Meet the Beatles' album.

Steve Lukather

There's so many players that I love and admire. Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Mike Landau, Robben Ford, Lee Ritenour, Jay Graydon, John Scofield, Warren Haynes - the list goes on and on.

I don't question things when they're going right.

Steve Lukather

What happens is people go, 'I want to play the guitar,' and the first thing they do is hit Google: 'How can I play this?' and the next thing you know, you've learned all these tricks, but you've never learned how to play rhythm guitar with a groove.

Steve Lukather

I just think that there is something that keeps us together, to keep doing what we're doing. I can't really put my finger on it other than each record is like a little snapshot of my life at that particular moment, the way I play, the way I sound, the way I wrote, the way I sing, I can hear it.

Steve Lukather

We always felt it helped during live shows to have multiple lead singers to give our voices a break.

Steve Lukather

God bless classic rock. It's been very good to me; I'll tell you that.

Steve Lukather

I've got the coolest job in the world.

Steve Lukather

I got caught up in 35 years of Saturday nights. Every night was like party night to me. As a young man, you can do that; it's OK to be an idiot. But I woke up one day, and I realized that 35 years had gone by.

Steve Lukather

Especially early on, I had no idea what I was going to be asked to do when I walked into a studio. I was doing 26 sessions a week - all day, all night.

Steve Lukather

'Rosanna' was the hit, but 'Africa' resonated with everyone who heard it.

Steve Lukather

Believe me, when I saw 'Family Guy' do the bit on 'Africa,' I howled laughing.

Steve Lukather

When the 'Thriller' album came up, we all knew that was going to be the cool record.
