I really connect with music that has a point, that's not just a heavy riff and cool sounds. I always like it to have a purpose.

Follow your goals and stay focused, because you really don't have much time.

I don't like driving through the rain. Your tour is only going to go as good as your bus driver, kinda like your band is only going to be as good as your drummer.

Too many people are too busy making a living to make a life.

You can be happy irrespective of what you have.

A year from today, it will be Good if your life is positively different, but GREAT if your life has made a positive difference on others

Sometimes you need to lose everything to find what is valuable.

When grief is deepest, words are fewest.

Sometimes when you lose you win, son. Failure is just life's way of preparing you for success.

I'm of the opinion that it's okay to be silent, to not speak if you don't have anything to say.

Spiritual energy is the one kind that never runs out.

I think laughter comes because things are hardly working.

The important thing is not to retreat; you have to master yourself.
