Musically, I just think in terms of what's next. There's a lot of things I've always dreamed of doing, and I hope I get to them before I get too deaf.

As I get older, I realize a lot of the things I could have done - things that I didn't think were so great at the time - actually would have been enjoyable.

Skepticism is only a time-based reality, and as an ultimate reality, it's always wrong, because everything always happens.

You wind up listening to one song that you really like 30 times on YouTube and then you're done with it. That's the way it is.

Most people just give up with time and go, "I'm a victim." The only reason I've got the reputation for delays and spending a long time on things is because I just don't stop.

I buy magazines. I'm not floating around in my own universe. I'm interested in everything.

I don't feel bound by the ebbs and flows of musical trends, or what's happening with new music in general.

We've had incredibly huge obstacles in our way - no tapes, no royalties, no cooperation on any level - and we sort it out.

I do need to loosen up a bit, and that usually does come with old age. That's the intention.

I wasn't making music for the sake of music but rather making music in the context of other music. At the same time, it doesn't mean I'm not going to try and do that some day.

Even I just listen to some bands on YouTube. I'll think, "Oh, I quite like that, I should buy it someday," but I don't get around to buying half the stuff I liked.

If you survive, you've got to live with the guilt, and that's more difficult than looking someone in the eye and pulling the trigger. Trust me. I've done both.

The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program. And if we become extinct because we don't have a space program, it'll serve us right!

And blessings on the falling out That all the more endears, When we fall out with those we love And kiss again with tears!

Truth seeks light, lies seek shadows.

It is not he who searches for praise who finds it.

Over the years I hope I've become more of a musican and less of a guitarist.

Only in the human form is it possible for life to attain its final goal, which is to realize the all-pervading and infinite Divinity.

I would rather be hired solely for my talent, not just to fill a quota.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the level of success I've had. I was just writing stories for my own sons.

When I go train hopping and I look up into the sky, there are always so many more stars than I remember there were.
