Thinking about the future and thinking about the past is really only a way of ignoring the present.

I think God is the most unexplored territory in rock and roll music.

I mean my point as an artist is I'm on my own little weird journey across the sky here and whether or not anybody's listening, or listening to the degree I would like them to, at the end of the day has to be an inconsequential thing because I can't chase this culture.

We have a problem with any labels that people try to hang on us, because all it does is drag you down.

We are the most beloved and hated band in the world.

It seems to me that references to bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin meant more to me a year ago and all those old things are totally losing importance.

I think long and hard about what it is I'm actually trying to do, and then I kind of have to narrow my focus into that. If I don't, I'm too all over the place.
