If you had told me at 45 years old that I would have to go on tour to get rest, I would've said, 'That's not how it works.' But nothing can be more gratifying. I'm a very hands-on dad.

Musicians playing together, it's a conversation, and ideally I want our conversation to be really intriguing and interesting and beautiful.

I like unkempt; I don't mind if I have holes in my jacket or whatever. I think people should look more the way they feel.

I'm not interested in a persona.

I didn't want to be told what to do. I don't want to water down my music to fit into their formats. I know what rock and roll is to me, but everything's turning into one big commercial.

It's funny, after a while, you get tired of having to fight someone because they don't like the way you look.

I never thought I'd be on the cover of the 'Atlanta Journal' unless I killed someone.

How many new rock stars have come around that have anything to say at all? Guys where you even want to know what they're thinking? Are they thinking? Where did it go astray?

In 2000, I fell in love. I had never felt anything like that before in my life. It kind of took me over.

Life is different than it was in the Nineties. I'm a dad, and there are other things I have to get done in an afternoon than just being an artist.

I'm not a big fan of Robert Plant's lyrics or his singing.

Every single person is sacred. Sacred means special, precious, a treasure of true beauty. That means you.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

I'm a lad of the '60s. I started a magazine to try and end the Vietnam war, but it was a number of years before I had the profile, the financial resources and the time to do more.

The big problem in the world is when people are forced to be in a totally foreign context.

We have a lot of people who are Republicans, a lot of people who are Democrats, and it's not just because of business reasons.

I never pictured myself as a telenovela galan - never imagined Id be in a soap opera.

What is the natural reaction when told you have a hopeless mental illness? That diagnosis does you in; that, and the humiliation of being there. I mean, the indignity you're subjected to. My God.

All gamblers are paranoid, though they call it superstition.

I just didn't want to shoot other people.

Each energy calls for its complementary energy to achieve self-contained stability based on the play of energies.
