Rock was always part of my heart and soul. But the times just changed and everybody wanted to dance.

There's nothing more exciting than playing live for the people. Just play it, just do it.

I'm known for being a good listener. Most people need a lot of love and encouragement and I'm more than willing to give a person all the encouragement and time they need.

I feel like before I came to the planet I asked God for the gift of music. I didn't want to come here without the gift of music and God granted it to me.

I just want to play for the people, give my new sound to them, and encourage them and be encouraged by people.

I wanted to be Jimi Hendrix's drummer when I was in high school, but I graduated in 1970, the year he died.

I take jobs with people I admire, people with incredible talent who aren't necessarily big sellers.

A lot of artists don't like the sound of their voice. They're put off by it.

I think it's artist's role to give and to receive and the people to give it, hear it, vibe on it, and give it back around again.

Ray Gomez is one of the greatest guitarists of all times!

I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.

The happiest people are the ones who can build a firm foundation of awesomeness out of the stones people have thrown at them.

The way we can allow ourselves to do what we need to, no matter what others may say or do, is to choose love and defy fear.

Marriage is going to be that happy state in which we get all of the nurturance and care and love and empathy and even good advice that we didn't receive from our families.

Passion I hate, and spirit does me wrong. Let us love gently.

I love being the mayor. I want to be the mayor forever.

A mad person sees what isn't there; A visionary sees what isn't there yet

Haul up the flag, you mourners, Not half-mast but all the way; The funeral is done and disbanded; The devil's had the final say.

Be my brother or I will kill you.

If you train badly, you play badly. If you work like a beast in training, you play the same way.
