I try to remember at least twenty to thirty things I'm grateful for every day, and I share those with at least one person that I am super grateful for.

I believe animals should be respected as citizens of this earth. They should have the right to their own freedom, their own families, and their own life.

Whether I'm stressed out or angry or happy or depressed - however I feel, I say "I love my life," no matter what. That usually keeps me centered.

How do I not get so wrapped up in what I think needs to happen? Going with the flow is the way to do it.

Nothing is for sure. Change is the only thing that is the absolute.

As an artist and a songwriter myself, I like to feel connected to modern culture and watch how sounds change.

I love just going out; long drives, the ocean, my kids, new music, new gear, new plug-ins, coffee, and donuts at four in the morning. Even just waking up and writing.

I've learned that each day is definitely a gift.

I do pranayama breathing now as a meditation, and that's very helpful. Meditating changed my life.

Walking my dogs, playing with my kids - all of that is really good stuff to keep me centered.

I meditate every day for between ten to twenty minutes. Every morning, I work out and go to the gym for an hour. I pray to the architect that designed me. I'm grateful.

If the root is holy, the branches shall be holy.

If you choose bad companions, no one will believe that you are anything but bad yourself.

And we edit to let the fire show through the smoke.

In a modern society people can live without hope only when kept dazed and out of breath by incessant hustling.

For a comedian to kind of catch onto something right as something's catching on in our culture, a lot of it is luck, and you hope the joke is funny.

I would rather be erring on the side of common-sense pragmatism and doing everything possible so that I felt that no stone was left unturned in terms of trying to protect school children.

They say Im demonic in humor in the sense that I think people need somebody to wake up their mental processes.

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.

Well, you know, if you do 200 shows a year, they're not all going to be like Castle Donnington.

When you know what's most important to you, making a decision is quite simple.
