I have way too many songs that have music but don't have lyrics.

If you get raised up having everything you want and then get put out in the world and try to live your own life, you've never had anything to train you how to live.

Apparently, there's this whole set of disgruntled people but obviously it's not my intention to offend anyone by changing the style of music that I've done.

During a big rock show, you can flub a few things and nobody will hear it, because it gets buried under everything else.

...one opportunity leads directly to another, just as risk leads to more risk, life to more life, and death to more death.

Wherever the crowd goes run in the other direction. They're always wrong.

Magic is the only profession where it's easy to lie about your talent. If you do a trick and you can learn it very quickly, you can fool somebody into thinking you're a great magician.

Patience is the road to wisdom.
