Your sound is in your hands as much as anything. It's the way you pick, and the way you hold the guitar, more than it is the amp or the guitar you use.

You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other - our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That's to help each other, not hurt each other.

I use heavy strings, tune low, play hard, and floor it. Floor it. That's technical talk.

Music really is a way to reach out and hold on to each other in a healthy way.

The way people come into your life when you need them, it's wonderful and it happens in so many ways. It's like having an angel. Somebody comes along and helps you get right.

I'm just doing the best I can now to keep this going... trying to grow up and remain young at the same time.

I wanted to play saxophone, but all I could get were a few squeaks.

So, my big brother was playing guitar and I figured I'd try it too.

When I play from my mind I get in trouble.

I don't play with a lot of finesse. I usually play like I'm breaking out of jail!

That's how it happens, livin life by the drop.

I think that the world is really in very dark ages. In America this could have never been showed, we are even more lost over there than in Europe. We are very lost!

Goodness is not in the backyard of the individual nor in the open field of the collective; goodness flowers only in freedom from both.

I've always felt that copious use of the word 'something' allows anyone to solve any problem, even insoluble ones.

You can't really move forward if you don't heal the past and identify and address the fact that you had a problem and in some cases still have issues. That has to be dealt with.

Fairy tales have a hidden power, and their appeal never ends. They're the best way to get messages across.

ONE THING I AM NEVER GOING TO DO WHEN I GROW UP Is fall in love, drop out of college, learn to subsist on water and air, have a species named after me, and ruin my life.

Life cheats us with shadows. We ask it for pleasure. It gives it to us with bitterness and disappointment in its train.

It's really cool because it's all exactly my vision. I'm not watering anything down.

Many of us feel we walk alone without a friend Never communicating with the one who lives within.
