People by themselves can be pretty stupid. People working together can be very powerful.

I'm pretty good at letting people do what they are good at, that's why they're experts.

Somebody's going to wake up and their job in life is going to be to make guitars. There are a lot of good, talented people.

In the camera business, you won't survive if you don't innovate. In the guitar business you may or may not. The guitars being sold were designed between '48 and '59, Gibson SGs in '61.

I found a little beetle, so that beetle was his name

I started thinking that if post modernism is about people opening up all their skeletons, I'm going the other way. I don't want anyone knowing anything about me anymore.

All things being equal, letting people make decisions for themselves will produce smarter outcomes, collectively, than relying on government planners.

If you look at someone like Joe Strummer or John Lennon, when you heard their music you knew that they wrote it and they cared about it.

If you stand up for women, then don't bash me.

When there is pain, there are no words. All pain is the same.
