I care less if I can't be part of your scene because I am the scene. I am everything that is.

It's not that I'm Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes now, but I've got my priorities in order.

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.

I didn't come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I'm proud of that.

They believed you can't mix rock, country, and rap, and that crossover is dead. I always knew it would work. And it will always work as long as you're really into it and like what you're doing.

I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics.

If I was president of the good old U.S.A., I'd turn the churches into strip clubs and watch the whole world pray.

I could care less about what people think. I'm a Devil Without A Cause.

You get what you put in and people get what they deserve.

I think what I've learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from.

I was the little white kid who rocked the turntables

People who see beauty all around them live in a beautiful world. People who see danger all around them live in a dangerous world.

Living to impress others is only acceptable by those who haven't discovered their true purpose in life .

Talent is God-given be humble. Fame is man-given be thankful. Conceit is self-given be careful.

I have no precise idea of who makes up my readership. I'm surprised when I discover people have read my poems at all.

Even the worst Bond movies, there's something to love about them.

Religion enabled society to organise itself to debate goodness, just as Greek drama had once done.

I grew up very introverted and I'm still a very introverted person, so to me it's about constantly just pushing and pushing out of your comfort zone because that where you're going to grow the most.

John Howard turned the prime ministership into something like a state police minister. He's at the scene of every crime, twice a day on radio, the guy did no thinking.

I was writing music for the sake of writing music; it was just fun.

We're fine together, just like this: Our silence protects us from ourselves
