The difficulty, if you're in the world - and this is for anybody - is the eventual disappointment that comes with having to meet other versions of reality. Imposed systems that ask you to compromise or sacrifice things which you consider holy or sacred.

That's at the root of the human interaction: fair trade.

Every year that goes by, I lose that much more motivation to play rock.

When I've tried to reinvent the wheel, I get bashed for not doing the familiar things.

It was shocking to see Nirvana play, because it was like, "Here's this little guy with a monster-guitar sound." And it was heavier than Black Sabbath. That was shocking.

I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It's a journey of recovery. It's a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It's already there.

Life is everything and nothing all at once.
