I think it's like everything you do is just a reflection of who you are as an artist.

If you get raised up having everything you want and then get put out in the world and try to live your own life, you've never had anything to train you how to live.

Apparently, there's this whole set of disgruntled people but obviously it's not my intention to offend anyone by changing the style of music that I've done.

During a big rock show, you can flub a few things and nobody will hear it, because it gets buried under everything else.

Who I am musically I hope will just keep changing and changing.

I'm not a fast, stream-of-consciousness lyricist at all - I know some guys who are, and if there is one skill I wish I had, it's that.

I have an awesome church home and an awesome Pastor down in L.A., and I couldn't be happier.

Cause I enjoy both, I enjoy recording and playing live, but yeah, the rush of playing live is really something.

To really change the world, we have to help people change the way they see things.

Of Manners gentle, of Affections mild; In Wit a man; Simplicity, a child.

The best practice you can get is on the bandstand, but in between gigs I feel I have to stay in shape.

Real love doesn't seek to acquire. It gives itself away. Its very nature is that of surrender, service, and generosity.

It doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor - as long as you've got money.

Evil cannot be conquered by wishing.

Two sides of the same coin, but which side is which?

Acting is reacting. You can't react if you're not paying attention, if you're not listening.

I'm upset. There was nothing like putting on the red shirt. (on retiring from international football)
