So much leather inside my car my horn moos.

Life is what you make of it. Don't make excuses - make it happen.

A moment will pass, but a movement will last.

Every underground artist has that little chip on his shoulder, like "I'm stuck here, and I'm trying to get out of this little hole that I'm in." You've got this core fan base, but it's limited.

America is fascinated with seeing people have nothing and turn it to something.

What's life if you're not enjoying it?

People get tired of the same old sound. They want something new.

When I get home and turn on the radio, I hear songs that are new to me, but to everybody else they're old. I try to keep the music fresh in my head.

It was not so very long ago that people thought that semiconductors were part-time orchestra leaders and microchips were very small snack foods.

It was a sound like someone trying not to make a sound.

I don't get any money from my wife.

You have to write a song around this specific character or to enhance a specific scene. A lot of other craft goes on.

It's the worst kind of bad film: the kind that gets you all worked up and then lets you down, instead of just being lousy from the first shot.

90% of the work in this country is done by people who don't feel good".
