Blind faith in your leaders, or in anything, will get you killed.

I couldn't worry about whether I`m gonna make it onstage or not. You can't. You just gotta do it. And if you do, you do, and if you don't, you don't, and then something else happens. That's the point of the live performance.

You get used to anything, sooner or later it just becomes your life.

I always felt that the musician's job was to provide an alternative source of information.

I've found that giving 100% to your job isn't the same as giving 100% of your life to your job. Very often when I thought I was giving 100% of my life to my job, I was simply obsessing over something.

All you can do is show people...You tell stories that are true and compelling.
