I think musicians like me are drawn to those older desks, not just because they're legend and lore but also because they do something really specific that is hard to emulate or re-create digitally.

No one is you, and that is your power.

If you play a Nickleback song backwards you'll hear messages from the devil. Even worse, if you play it forwards you'll hear Nickleback.

That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.

I never needed much, and I never thought I'd get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.

My mother was a public school teacher in Virginia, and we didn't have any money, we just survived on happiness, on being a happy family.

People are so into digital recording now they forgot how easy analog recording can be.

And later, if I ever felt that I was getting swept away by the craziness of being in a band, well, I'd go back to Virginia.

You will only be great at things you love to do don't pursue a career in something you hate to do.

Never lose faith in real rock and roll music. Never lose faith in that. You might have to look a little harder, but it's always going to be there.

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can't replace the magic of four people in a room playing.

Unfortunately the world is what it is now. People don't get along for whatever reason. As professional athletes, in a way we're almost ambassadors for peace, because sports brings everyone together.

Cruelty signifies rigor, implacable intention and decision, irreversible and absolute determination.

There's a starting place. And that starting place for everyone is ambition. We're all scared of that word today because they made it bad in the late '80s. As if desire is not a good thing.

My father always told me that I was going to be a failure - I think he was more talking about himself, but I didn't know it at the time.

Have lots of plants in your house. Nature and plants understand something about stillness and silence. As you interact with the green world, you will find a peace will enter your life.

Just pick a political story at random and read the comments. There is no logic or reason on either side - only hypocrisy and hate.

Passion has determined our past. Attitude will determine our future.

I think business needs to have a heart and to have a heart a company must be more than just a moneymaking machine.

Whose hands are God's hands, but our hands?

When they say take from my body, I think I'll take from mine instead. Getting off, getting off while they're all down stairs.
