I never got into sports at all until I was in my early 20s, after my music career got going.

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.

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

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.

You are not judged by your success, but rather, how you respond to your failures.

You can’t really worry too much…about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field are doing. It has to be a true vision.

Growing old on screen is not for the faint of heart.

A complex decision is like a great river, drawing from its many tributaries the innumerable premises of which it is constituted.

I prefer thought to action, an idea to a transaction, contemplation to activity.

It's not really into the big mass movement in music that I want to do, you know.

No one is anyone, one single immortal man is all men. Like Cornelius Agrippa, I am god, I am hero, I am philosopher, I am demon and I am world, which is a tedious way of saying that I do not exist.

The function of the society is to cultivate the individual. It is not the function of the individual to support society.

Leaders make things possible. Exceptional leaders make them inevitable.

The life of a woman may be divided into three epochs; in the first she dreams of love, in the second she makes love in the third she regrets it.
