I don't know any musician, successful or otherwise, that got in it to make money. Or writer, for that matter. You get into it because you love it.

I've heard from writers and musicians and fans that they think I'm underrated.

I'm thankful for serendipitous moments in my life, where things could've gone the other way.

Puberty hit me very hard, and I basically had no use for school once I discovered the guitar.

Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe.

That's what living in their world is-a big lie. An illusion where everyone looks the other way and pretends that nothing unpleasant exists at all, no goblins of the dark, no ghosts of the soul.

I remember thinking that I'd never show my arms on TV, but over time you loosen up.

I became one of the stately homos of England.

Every trace of the old philosophy and literatureof the ancient world has vanished from the face of the earth.
