I've come to realize that life is not a musical comedy, it's a Greek tragedy.

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

She's the quiet type who's into heavy metal.

Most people you'd tell "I'm gonna be a musician," they'd say, "you're crazy, you're gonna starve, you're gonna be poor, a drug addict, go to jail, you'll never make it, there's too much competition, it's a terrible business," etc. But my chorus teacher in high school said, "you've got what it takes to be a really good professional musician, you should consider it." That was an epiphany for me. So I thought, well, maybe I can help somebody, too.

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun.
