I did a cover of the James Bond theme, and I felt like such a fraud, because the original is so good.

The good thing about working alone is I get a lot done and I can experiment more. The bad thing is I miss out on the gregarious, social way that most musicians work.

One simple word: ugh. Is something still considered a conspiracy if it's played out right under our noses?

My reason for becoming a vegetarian was simple: I loved (and love) animals

I'm envious of people who can sleep as long as they want. I have the circadian rhythm of a farmer.

The good thing about not being drop-dead gorgeous is that as time passes, I don't have much to worry about. I have friends who are actors and every day they look in the mirror with trepidation.

Ignorance is the parent of fear.

Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.

I like noise. It's always puzzled me why one of the goals of contemporary recording is to get rid of noise and to eliminate any element of a performance.

If you hold fast to the past, the devil will take advantage of this and use it as a weapon against you

I consider myself fortunate that I am in the position to decide which is the most effective way to tell our stories.

I am convinced that the reason why my kids have become very fulfilled and achieving human beings is because I wasn't raising them alone.

The universal subjugator, the commonplace.

Every prophet and every saint has a way, But all lead to God. All ways are really one.

One agonizing journey down the gauntlet of youth is enough for any man.
