I met the Santana band when I was 14. By the time I was 15, I was a member of the band.

Nobody's perfect. Everyone slides here and there, and they have their ups and downs. When they are down, that is not the time to step all over them.

The heavy guitars are the ones that sound good. They are not that comfortable, but they do sound great.

The best part was watching Journey grow into this monster. The band was huge, playing these enormous gigs.

We are doing what Prince did. Everyone that comes to a show billed as An Evening with Journey will get our new CD. We figured that is our best store because they are our biggest fans.

I haven't stopped playing. If you play all the time, then your chops are up and you tend to grow.

I'm not a guy to go in the studio and spend months, let alone years, like some people do. I cannot even be in the studio for a month, it will drive me nuts.

Beyond the Thunder is the closest I've recorded to an acoustic thing.

What I have is a bunch of really hungry, amazingly talented guys that can kick anybody's rear end.

I'm just getting older and better.

I've never done a solo tour. I feel like getting out there and doing that.

Any day could be your last day of existence?

Don’t grow old to give up and don’t give up growing up

It's not about blame or wallowing...you are all molded by so much more than a dysfunctional past, and you must ultimately take responsibility for creating the life you want.

The decision to give ourselves to others is a daily taking up of the cross.

I like rock music. I like jazz better, though.

A lot of disappointed people have been left standing on the street corner waiting for the bus marked Perfection.

You shouldn't be shot just because someone yells, "Halt" or resisting arrest or running away from being arrested.

We have just started, and if you compare the number of people using Skype to the number using a telephone network around the world, we're still just starting.

I wanted to run away from everything but I wanted to run towards something too.

It is a lot of responsibility. But I enjoy being a father. Thats one of the best parts of my life. I feel like, man, thats one of the greatest things Ive got going on, being a father.
