It is high time for society to stop worrying about the criminal, and to let the criminal start worrying about society. And by "society" I mean you.

An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.

Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.

Fight back! Whenever you are offered violence, fight back! The aggressor does not fear the law, so he must be taught to fear you. Whatever the risk, and at whatever the cost, fight back!

Political correctness is neither political nor is it correct. It amounts to social censorship, and the sooner we spit it out, the better.

It appears that the murder rate inside prisons is ten times higher than that outside prisons. It must be due to all those Kalashnikov rifles that are issued to prisoners upon their incarceration.

Blessed are those who, in the face of death, think only about the front sight.

A smart man only believes half of what he hears, a wise man knows which half.

The will to survive is not as important as the will to prevail... the answer to criminal aggression is retaliation.

No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care

My results show you what I'm up to

I think those who have wanted regime [of Bashar Assad] change have made a mistake.

For the first time in 23 years I'm enjoying the process of supporting it, of going out and doing shows, and doing the interviews, and doing everything.

I don't consider myself a skilled enough instrumentalist to be able to create the atmosphere that I want with just my guitar by myself.

My favourite people, biggest inspirations and closest friends are all women. Not a coincidence.
