We're in this band, the Foo Fighters, making music for the love of music. We all came from bands that had disbanded, and we were drawn to each other because we missed playing.

No one is you, and that is your power.

Wars are fought by teenagers, you realize that. They really ought to be fought by the politicians and old people who start these wars.

I believe that what it is I have been called to do will make itself known when I have made myself ready.

You shouldn't be afraid of science. Accepting the reality of nature makes life more exciting and even more precious.

Unless one's philosophy is all-inclusive, nothing can be understood.
