I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity.

As human beings, we need to know that we are not alone, that we are not crazy or completely out of our minds, that there are other people out there who feel as we do, live as we do, love as we do, who are like us.

My friends and I are crazy. That's the only thing that keeps us sane!

I've lived long enough to have learned, the closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned.

I took a fresh pack of Luckies, a mint called Sen-Sen, my old man's Trojans.

They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known.

When I look at great works of art or listen to inspired music, I sense intimate portraits of the specific times in which they were created.
