I tend to name albums after one of the songs.

Being 16 years old and getting an electric guitar is never going to get old. There's always going to be kids making music. There's always going to be kids in bands.

I don't make my living making records. Maybe someday I will.

I am nice to everybody. But people really take advantage of it.

The modern video games kind of - they're too three dimensional.

Guitar solos bore the hell out of me. Only a few guitarists interest me, and it's not about the solos they play, it's about the grooves they create.

I never listen to Led Zeppelin. But, I mean, I don't think Robert Plant or Jimmy Page listen to Led Zeppelin, either. We all probably obsessed over the same old blues records growing up.

The Black Keys is just a band that wants to get on stage and rock it.

I have had a life in which I have had to face every big fear, and it has not been pleasant.

My friends have always told me that rock stardom was wasted on me.

Terrorism grows when there are no other options, and when the center of the global economy is the god of money and not the person - men and women - this is already the first terrorism!

I am recognized a lot for Clueless, but I am recognized a great deal for The Princess Bride. I dont know... maybe everybody who has seen that movie just goes out on the street.
