You know, I've never done karaoke, ever. It makes me nervous - I think it's the lack of the guitar and just a microphone.

All I can do is do what I can do, and do what I know how to do. I do what I love to do, and that's pretty much it.

I know that I'm capable of moving around on the guitar. I can express myself the way I want to and feel good about it. But as far as technical chops, I'm not a learned musician.

There's nothing like a music festival. People are ready to have a good time. I don't think anyone comes to a festival going, 'I'm gonna be a complete bummer today.

I don't think anything can touch the expressive range of the guitar.

Music is soaking up things that I see in other people or things that go on in my life, and I put it out there in the form of a song.

When I was growing up, I would go hang out with older guys at night in blues clubs.

I've been called 'musically schizophrenic,' and some people think that's a cool thing.

Most of my songs start out as being very aggressive and guitar-driven.

When I got my first guitar, I played along with everything I heard that had guitar in it, like the Ramones, Nirvana and Sublime, as well as whatever hip-hop and R&B stuff was on the radio.

I am the type of artist where you can't tell me anything. I have always been that way. I am right. I don't need any input.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

No religion is higher than humanity.

Events are not determined by the wheel of fortune, which is blind, but by the wheels of Providence, which are full of eyes

Rascals are always sociable, and the chief sign that a man has any nobility in his character is the little pleasure he takes in others company.

Those who envy you inadvertently admit to being inferior to you.

It is the public that is illiterate in science and math, a lazy press, and environmental advocacy groups that manufacture fear for misconceptions about energy.

He that hath little is the lesse durtie.

I always practice as I intend to play.

Converse with men makes sharp the glittering wit, But God to man doth speak in solitude.

Closed minds do not inspire faith, courage, and belief
