As soon as I became old enough to make my dreams my reality, I became a firm believer that the subconscious and the world outside of our flesh and blood is essentially the truth.

I mean, I grew up with pretty down-to-earth, atheist parents, but I was born a Pisces.

I love big budgeted, epic rock landscapes. That's what turns me on.

This planet Earth, the act of putting a roof over our heads, our flesh and blood existence, it's all very temporary.

Well, being a Canadian, I love SCTV, and I think it's the basis for all good North American comedy, so I compare everything to that.

I don't like to be afraid. I'm afraid every day, all the time.

I made money. What am I gonna invest in? Stocks? No. Im going to invest in music.

Sure, give me an adventure and I'll ride it.

But everything you do in life has a downside.

The intentions of record companies are not good, from the musician's perspective.

I sold my life to Capitol Records; it sucks.

The only life that matters is in your mind. The only truth is the one that lives invisibly, that waits even after you close the book. Silence, too, is a kind of music. Silence will last.

Plug into the anti-obvious power of the rebel. Or get those opposing minds to plug into your purpose, to solve your problem, to reimagine your process.

Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells.

And soften'd sounds along the waters die: Smooth flow the waves, the zephyrs gently play.

Desire, despair, desire. So many monsters.

I've done my job and I've got the picture out there, and I'm very happy with it.

All men come to resemble their fathers. That isn't a tragedy. But you need a hell of a sense of humor to handle it.

The art of today is that which really belongs to us: it is our own reflection. In condemning it we but condemn ourselves.

While the government can tell you that I am an innocent man, the government's letter cannot give me back my good name or my reputation.

An undevout poet is an impossibility.
