And you know that when the truth is told that you can get what you want or you can just get old.

Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true. When will you realize... Vienna waits for you.

Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.

I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.

I've come to realize that life is not a musical comedy, it's a Greek tragedy.

I am no longer afraid of becoming lost, because the journey back always reveals something new, and that is ultimately good for the artist.

Only the good die young.

I could walk away from anyone I ever knew, but I can't walk away from you.

In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.

I am not leaving twitter. If the mindless few defeat the thoughtful majority we are all doomed.

I like it that my career has all the predictability and continuity of a children's nonsense rhyme.

The Internet, like the steam engine, is a technological breakthrough that changed the world.

God has just always put me in the right place I guess.

A true philosopher is beyond the reach of fortune.
