I get to live down my reputation for being cantankerous if I slowly evolve towards being a really good live show.

The things that keep me awake at night are things like textures and instrumentation and plotting out what things are going to do and what the sounds are that I'm trying to capture.

There's always room for improvement. I'm always focused on the results, and those are the precise things that I don't really experience as a part of the performance.

I dont think I threw myself into music because I had the best intentions; it was because I was really angry.

I always wanted to get into rock music so I could cover up my real personality, change my voice, and create a false self to hide behind.

I love everybody. You have to embrace all facets of humanity; love and accept everyone as being part of yourself.

I'm not dissatisfied, just not satisfied in an ultimate sense.

I never see songs as permanent. I'm always in a state of revising everything.

My goal is to make something special and pure, and that keeps me going, keeps me busy on the path of sobriety.

I procrastinate, and I push writing to the last available moment, because I don't like to settle on anything. I guess you can call it indecision or you can call it holding out for inspiration.

I don't work under the illusion that I'm the next whatever. Every time a record comes out, if it gets a good review, I'm like, "Well, one more year, guys. We bought ourselves another year".

We often focus on what is wrong and complain that nothing is beautiful.

When your heart truly adores somebody, your mind perceives a halo on that man's head.

I am never unhappy, you can achieve that as well.

It will be necessary for us to be a nation of men, and not laws.

There's a need to keep the history of an artform going, parallel with the new work that's being done.

You have to fight for what you need to fight for.

What they do in heaven we are ignorant of; what they do not do we are told expressly.

Every time someone come out with an album don't change the whole style up but don't do what they are expecting. Surprise them.

When I'm not working, I like to be comfortable. I do like to dress smart, but comfort is important.

I've always said the players don't build up rivalries themselves, people from the outside build up the rivalries. I just want to play good golf. I want to try and keep winning golf tournaments.
