I'm really not worried about what fans think.

Being 16 years old and getting an electric guitar is never going to get old. There's always going to be kids making music. There's always going to be kids in bands.

I don't make my living making records. Maybe someday I will.

I am nice to everybody. But people really take advantage of it.

Hip hop is the new rock n' roll, you know what I mean? And anybody who doesn't think that is just sort of living in the past. It's all just American music, really, when you get right down to it.

Everybody always wants to rebel against their parents' music, but nobody listened to music louder than my dad.

The modern video games kind of - they're too three dimensional.

Guitar solos bore the hell out of me. Only a few guitarists interest me, and it's not about the solos they play, it's about the grooves they create.

I never listen to Led Zeppelin. But, I mean, I don't think Robert Plant or Jimmy Page listen to Led Zeppelin, either. We all probably obsessed over the same old blues records growing up.

The Black Keys is just a band that wants to get on stage and rock it.

Songs aren't owned by anyone.

There is a saying in the medical profession 'Inside everytablet is a little bit of poison'. Avoid medications if you can.

I wonder what the High Septon would have to say about the sanctity of oaths sworn while dead drunk, chained to a wall, with a sword pressed to your chest?

I'm even though I'm not per se sitting at a desk and in school, I'm still learning all the time.

It is more than enough to be an ethically and an evolutionarily developed human being. All other titles and identities of man are inferior to this fact!

Oddly enough I never used to suffer from depression on cold, gray, cloudy days like this. I feel as if nature is in harmony with me, that it reflected my soul.

Great is the height I just scale, but the prospect of glory gives me strength.

A jump lead walks into a bar. The barman says "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."

I am a novelist at heart.

There will never be any more perfection than there is now.

If ever thou be'st bound in thy scarf and beaten, thou shalt find what it is to be proud of thy bondage.
