Had an awesome time. You tell me to show up and all I have to do is drink beer, play guitar all day and I can lift weights and you're going to pay me for this!

Face your fear Accept your war it is what it is.

Whatever it is you love, and whatever it is that you want to do, that's what you should be doing.

You've got certain guys that just want to be famous and then you've got the real musicians that just love playing music.

It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.

I am persistent about everything I believe in. If there's a film I want to do, a record, a Broadway show - I do it. Everybody can hate it but I will still do it. I am fearless that way.

The second fundamental feature of culture is that all culture has an element of striving.

God endowed you with a glory when he created you, a glory so deep and mythic that all creation pales in comparison.
