I don't care much about politics. That kind of witchcraft I stay away from because people end up dead. I'd rather die for music.

People just wanna see someone talking about themselves constantly. I'm not interested in that.

A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.

It doesn't mean that I'm overly enthusiastic about much music. Except the people that really touch me. It has to touch me, it has to grab a hold of me, I'm not looking for anything in particular.

When I was young, I used to go to Baha'i camp, and they taught me a lot about the equality of religions.

I couldn't write a political song. There's just opinion; it's all arbitrary anyway. It's all subjective.

I wouldn't go into the studio if I didn't have a band who's ready, willing, and able.
