As long as we keep learning new music and getting better musically, there's a good chance that the record deal won't change anything.

I'm always interested in mixing technology and music. You know, maybe I'll have a MIDI bass pickup at some point, I don't really think that's the direction I would want to go.

In order to have that incredible groove that makes you dream you have to think not of the groove, but of the dream.

A lot of the great songwriters in history have been collaborators, with a separate lyricist.

I built all the speaker cabinets myself.

Right after I graduated, my girlfriend, who I had been going out with for five years, dumped me, and my grandmother died.

Our deeds attach themselves to us like the flame to phosphorus. They constitute our brilliance, to be sure, but only in so far as they consume us.

You draw the mystical kundalini from the earth. Earth is an element. Fire, air, earth, water, and ether - the mystical kundalini comes through them all.

I encourage people to read by encouraging them to read whatever they want.

I'm not annoying in relationships! I'm great!

A great idea can change the world; but to change the universe, men need even much greater ideas!

If you find my stories dirty, the society you are living in is dirty. With my stories, I only expose the truth

Stupidity is nature's favorite resource for preserving consistency of opinion.
