I've never done songs with people just for the sake of the great combination. I've always done songs with friends.

It's not that I'm Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes now, but I've got my priorities in order.

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.

I didn't come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I'm proud of that.

They believed you can't mix rock, country, and rap, and that crossover is dead. I always knew it would work. And it will always work as long as you're really into it and like what you're doing.

I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics.

If I was president of the good old U.S.A., I'd turn the churches into strip clubs and watch the whole world pray.

I could care less about what people think. I'm a Devil Without A Cause.

You get what you put in and people get what they deserve.

I think what I've learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from.

I was the little white kid who rocked the turntables

To fall for the notion of a 'double truth' and argue there was one set of truths for reason and another for faith and never the two shall meet made nonsense of the idea of truth itself.

A national debt if it is not excessive will be to us a national blessing.

Punk rock really influenced me, the basic metal bands, Zeppelin, Stones and Floyd, and Southern rock bands. I think I was pretty well-rounded.

Amid life's quests, there seems but worthy one: to do men good.

Believe nothing a man tells you and everything he shows you"....(Taken from a farewell video from a dying father to his infant daughter on dating)

I would never wish to say that I've finally waved goodbye to any character, it's just that the emphasis tends to shift.

At the shock of a joke, everything disappears but the present moment.

You probably would not choose to dine at a restaurant whose chef always ate elsewhere. I do eat my own cooking, and I don't "dine out" when it comes to investing.

Let us then try what Love will do: For if Men do once see we love them, we should soon find they would not harm us.

The one I love is the son of the one I hate! -Juliet p. 75
