The world can get a bit ugly sometimes.

Transport drives me crazy. I find myself on this constant conveyor belt and the planes, buses, traffic jams, ugh.

I became slightly disillusioned, but in a really good way that enabled me to realize that the music was the most important thing, and that the rest of it is total bullshit.

Be you own hero, be your own saviour, send all your suffering into the fire. Let no foot, mark your ground, let no hand, hold you down.

I'm getting older every day, and I'm going to be making music until I drop dead.

Part of being human is having a sense of humor.

An electronic instrument is just harboring a natural element the same way that a guitar is harboring an acoustic element. It's all nature, really.

To me, there's never been a difference between electronic and acoustic. I've always had this idea that electricity is another element like wind or fire or water.

I think more about sounds rather than concepts.

I finally realized that so much of the music world is about how much money you've got, how much you can pay to make your record successful.

Growing up, I never thought about the thing called money.

In general, it should be noted, biblical law is evolutionary, not revolutionary...

The people see that Wall Street is running our economic policy, that big oil is running our energy policy and the military industrial complex is determining our foreign policy.

I'm on top of the world, man. And I intend to stay there.

When I think about country music, I think about America.

Genres are just bottles for the various boats. The boats matter to me.

In the end, worship can never be a performance, something you're pretending or putting on. It's got to be an overflow of your heart...Worship is about getting personal with God, drawing close to God.

Life is about losing everything, gracefully.

I suppose I could try to be some avant-garde artist if I wanted to, but that doesn't interest me as much.

God gave us the gift of life. It is the most precious gift ever. To be unarmed is to be helpless to protect that gift; that is outright irresponsible.

Realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies and puts you to work digging gold.
