Sometimes, fear is good. Sometimes it's a good thing to have a little bit of a reality check.

Having a baby is a life-changer. It gives you a whole other perspective on why you wake up every day.

You never get to pick how you get pinned and how people perceive you.

Don't change for anyone. The people that matter don't care, and the people that care don't matter.

The first music you really fall in love with is more than just music. It's something that clicks in you beyond the song; it's a message or image that causes you to jump in and not let go.

Radio is a really strange business now, too. There's a very narrow door and a very few people control what gets played.

It's really weird getting phone calls, and people going 'I love you, I love you, I love you.'

I've figured out what to do with my hands... onstage. I'm a percussion player, so I grab a tambourine as much as I can.

There's a weird fact that if you dropped a penny off the Empire State Building in New York City, you'd kill someone. I feel really bad, 'cause I dropped a nickel off it once.

You have to know what you want and keep going for it.

I know for my wife and I, we always loved the idea of being young parents.

The most important events in human history were the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it.

Thanksgiving speaks in clear, crisp tones of forgotten terms, like integrity - bravery - respect - freedom - discipline - sacrifice - godliness.

I feel the audience has a right to know if some of the money they're spending is going to a certain cause, and reassuring them the money is going to where it's supposed to be going.

Good ideas will always get funded, so that's not going to be a problem. But you will see that it will be harder and harder for bad ideas to get funded.

Wouldn't it be nice if all the people who are lonesome could live in one big dormitory, sleep in beds next to each other, talk, laugh, and keep the lights on as long as they want to?

As regards my feelings about drummers - there's Buddy Rich, and then there's everybody else.

Beautifully drawn, solid, compelling characters against a background so real and scary I left the lights on all night. It was great!

Men never plan to be failures; they simply fail to plan to be successful

I really feel that artists or musicians are controversial people. Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity. If people are not doing that, they're not artists - they're artisans.
