I never try and sound like Sabbath.

If you are a pop band, don't say you're a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys.

Jack Bruce, as soon as I saw him, it changed me. I didn't even know what bass players did until I saw Cream.

It doesn't matter who you vote for. It's still the same billionaires that run the world.

An illustrational form tells you through the intelligence immediately what the form is about, whereas a non-illustrational form works first upon sensation and then slowly leaks back into the fact.

In life one must decide whether to conjugate the verb to have or the verb to be.

We shouldn't turn the safety net into a hammock. It should actually be a safety net.
