I love bass, I really do. Bass is ace!

I'm not a quitter. I believe in following things through.

Bands that I've loved over the years are the ones that have a certain myth around them.

Working pretty much nonstop as an artist, the hardest thing is to know what to do with yourself when you have some time off. You struggle with yourself to take a vacation.

I try to sing whatever the music makes me feel. And we play so much music from the other records at shows that I hope no one will miss the old style too much.

Sophomore records are historically really difficult.

I feel like there's a hunger in the culture now for the live experience maybe as a counterpoint to the more sort of synthetic lives that we've been living.

Yeah, I can't separate the art from the music and the music from the art. I think that stems from going to school for film first, and kind of stumbling onto music as my career.

For me, California is all about rest, relaxation, space.

It's insane how quickly everything's changed. I always feel like I'm running hard to catch up.

My onstage persona really is a persona, you know, and really the moment I step onstage, it kind of kicks into gear.

His Majesty has always been a powerful man. Perhaps he has never had to distinguish between the two.

The reason that history so often repeats is not only human nature, but also human ignorance.

Am I honest? Am I sincere? Do I really desire first the praise of God?

My mother told me that when I was born a wave of feeling came over her. She just knew that I was destined to be an actress.

I think success is being exactly who God called us to be and fighting to your death to live that out.

Left to ourselves, mechanistic and autonomic, we hanker for friends.

You've got to believe in yourself first. Take risks and don't be afraid to fall.

Well, I'm kinda like George Carlin. I think that there ought to be a time where everybody should have all the drugs they want and there'd be nobody in charge, sort of like... now!

I drink tons of water. It always sounds like the lamest thing, but there's a reason you keep hearing this over and over again. It really works.
