I'm not sure about life after this; god knows I'm not a spiritual man.

I've always said about 50% of what happens at a concert has to do with the audience. If you play for a dead audience you're gonna stink. If we play for a great crowd we're much better. You want 'em to make noise. It's kinda like sex, if they don't make noise, you ain't doin' it right.

I compare songwriting to childbirth. How many kids can you have before your uterus explodes?

Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself.

If you tell kids they can't have something, that's what they want.

No matter what culture you're from, everyone loves music.

We all have a face that we hide away forever, and we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone.
