I remind myself that the universe is 15 billion years old, and I'm only 46 years old, so my perspective is sort of limited and fear-based and skewed.

The good thing about working alone is I get a lot done and I can experiment more. The bad thing is I miss out on the gregarious, social way that most musicians work.

My reason for becoming a vegetarian was simple: I loved (and love) animals

I'm envious of people who can sleep as long as they want. I have the circadian rhythm of a farmer.

The good thing about not being drop-dead gorgeous is that as time passes, I don't have much to worry about. I have friends who are actors and every day they look in the mirror with trepidation.

I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.

Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.

I like noise. It's always puzzled me why one of the goals of contemporary recording is to get rid of noise and to eliminate any element of a performance.

See Scott run, Run Scott run. See Scott die, No such luck.

The only thing socialists produce is debt and self-esteem

A joyous occasion is never quite as wonderful as when it becomes a memory.

Sometimes, you lose (a game) and sometimes the other team wins.

If every man was as true to his country as he was to his wife, we'd be in a lot of trouble.

Man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous. . . .
