I recognize that there are some great things about not playing a song live, and just kind of piecing it together as you go.

I sometimes feel like I need to pinch myself. I feel extremely fortunate.

Sometimes it's hard to hear criticism, or "maybe let's try a different way." People's feelings get hurt.

I don't have any intention to stop. Rock 'n' roll is my main concern.

My problem was never with the major label, it was with the guy who we put our trust in and then wouldn't take my phone calls once we'd signed to a major label, who then quit.

It's really funny, because if you make up words, then people project their own meanings onto it, which I find interesting.

A reader has to be concerned only with the end result; unless he chooses to analyze it, he does not have to know by what means that result was achieved-but it is my job to know.

If one can't give what they have and share then they will always be empty
