I think you have to know exactly what you want. Whether you want to be a guitar player or a musician, you have to be really focused on it if you really want to do it.

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.

But I needed to prove to everyone that I was a serious musician.

Right, yeah, you know, my favorite thing just globally about music is just hopefully I'm able to be, you know, blessing the people in any way that I can.

Sometimes I'll get a burst when I write lyrics, it usually happens in 20 minutes and I'll write the whole song, and that's really the only way it feels comfortable.

I can remember loving to recruit. I knew I was going to do my best. But traveling and recruiting doesn't appeal to me any more. It's not as much fun as it used to be.

What you subconsciously want, you will get. And what you subconsciously do not want, you will avoid.

If you push through the hard days you can get through anything.

I did not volunteer for the Waffen SS, but was, as were thousands of my year group, conscripted. I did not then know as a 17-year-old that it was a criminal unit. I thought it was an elite unit.

If cooperation among governments were the superior concept for progress in Europe, I'd be onboard immediately. But the problem is that cooperation isn't working.

I got the first thing I auditioned for - a guest role on two episodes on 'All Saints,' and I don't think I had ever been that excited.

If you're a nice person and you work hard, you get to go shopping at Barneys. It's the decadent reward.

Your biggest failure is the thing you dreamed of contributing but didn't find the guts to do.

You think we shouldn't anthropomorphize people?
