...whatever I ended up doing with my life,I wanted to people feel the way this music was making me feel.

I didn't have to go all the way to India for spiritual enlightenment. The blue-collar spirituality of everyday life was right in front of me, it was in every nook and cranny if I wanted to seek it, but I had chosen to ignore it.

I inherited my father's insatiable desire to meet all the beautiful girls in the world.

Writing music always happened for me in periods when I wasn't under the influence of mind-altering substance.

I stopped hating and started just being. My whole life, I had been the most defensive person you'd meet, unable to tolerate any criticism. But now I started listening and being.

Four years into the life of my son, I realize I'm so in love with him and he's so in love with me that if I don't find that lifelong partner out there, it's okay.

I have to laugh at myself.
