There is nothing like singing a song that 20,000 people know and are singing back to you.

I have a little history. I met Stone Temple Pilots, and their guitar player was a huge Extreme fan. Somewhere down the road, Extreme made its statement.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

Michael Anthony is the Diplomat of Rock N Roll. He is the regular guy.

When 5150 came out rock was king. Post Nirvana and Pearl Jam 1996 is a different story.

When I was in Van Halen I was hitting notes that were out of my range. I never went for those registers before until Eddie pulled it out of me.

I don't know if I have enough guts to do a whole standard jazz record.

When you want wisdom and insight as badly as you want to breathe, it is then you shall have it.

Hate is the wrath of the weak.

If you have a problem where you have just poverty, long-term insurance benefits for an emergency aren't going to solve that either. You have got to fix the social safety net.

Life's not so bad after all. There are not only poison but also antidotes.

From quite an early age I realised the effect that good food can have on others.

What's happened recently in Pakistan, India and Kuwait only goes to show that it's futile to imitate Western democracy. They've ended up exactly where they started.

We ought to define a man's income as the maximum value which he can consume during a week, and still expect to be as well off at the end of the week as he was at the beginning.
