We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.

My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who I am.

You got nothing to lose. You don't lose when you lose fake friends.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes.

Girls have got balls. They're just a little higher up, that's all.

I think I was born strong-willed. That's not the kind of thing you can learn. The advantage is, you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do.

You want to have butterflies in your stomach, because if you don't, if you walk out onstage complacent, that's not a good thing.

You can and you must expect suffering.

There won't be a Palestinian state within Israel.

History is man's best guess as to what the past would look like if everything had happened in chronological order.

Life isn't moving quickly - time moves very quickly.
