How could you even dream or think something of someone who is as uncommercial as I am?

I'm an artist and that means I can be as egotistical as I want to be.

I'm not joking around when I've said occasionally, trying to learn how to play a D chord properly has been a very big thing for me.

Don't face the day until you've faced God.

Everybody goes down to a least common denominator, and as a result, productivity goes down to zero. And we've seen that in every communist country around the world.

Learn to use an axe, and respect it and you can't help but love it. But abuse one and it will wear your hands raw and open your foot like an overcooked sausage.
