You can make yourself the greatest singer in the world or the best drummer in the world with the aid of technology.

No one is you, and that is your power.

If you play a Nickleback song backwards you'll hear messages from the devil. Even worse, if you play it forwards you'll hear Nickleback.

That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.

And what had he wanted? He'd never sat down to think about it. But mostly, he wanted yesterday to be different from today.
