My songwriting is like extending a hand to the listener.

No one is you, and that is your power.

If you play a Nickleback song backwards you'll hear messages from the devil. Even worse, if you play it forwards you'll hear Nickleback.

That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.

I never needed much, and I never thought I'd get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.

My mother was a public school teacher in Virginia, and we didn't have any money, we just survived on happiness, on being a happy family.

People are so into digital recording now they forgot how easy analog recording can be.

And later, if I ever felt that I was getting swept away by the craziness of being in a band, well, I'd go back to Virginia.

You will only be great at things you love to do don't pursue a career in something you hate to do.

Never lose faith in real rock and roll music. Never lose faith in that. You might have to look a little harder, but it's always going to be there.

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can't replace the magic of four people in a room playing.

When we share intelligence, wealth, or love, we grow.

If the shining sun blinds the eye, it makes sense. But to be blinded by gold and silver!

Before I spoke with people, I did not think of all these things because there was no one to bother to think them for. Now things just come out of my mouth which are true.

You can receive Christ into your heart, and he can bring joy, and a thrill, and glory such as you have never known - if you will give your life to him.

I'm not sure that people want to go back to the womb. People want to go back to the teats of your mother and hear your mother's heartbeat.

I'm very much into vengeance, in the way that if someone attacks you, you have to attack him twice if you want to survive.

I'd like to say I'd like to be as big as a Gwen or a Madonna, but I think those days of achieving that level are over. The media is bringing everybody down.

Don't just be in the business and have fun 'cause you're a kid. You've gotta learn; this is your livelihood.

We need to focus on radical Islamic terrorists and we need to stop them before they carry out acts of terror.

Don’t compare yourself to others. That’s when you start to lose confidence in yourself.
