A lot of religious texts make for good reading. That's why they hold up.

I don't think music is my job - I don't think about it that way, because I don't really get paid. There's no paycheck at the end; it's more of a 'whatever is left over' kind of situation.

This is rock'n'roll, not classical music. It's about people working together.

I wouldn't claim to know what another person is thinking. I can imagine it, but it's my interpretation, and I try to make that clear. It's my vision of what I think their life is. I don't think there are empirical truths in that regard.

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

As long as there are a few people there, I can lose myself, which is the ultimate goal. And that's happening more and more; the non-musical world is becoming less and less interesting to me.

I think I try to do a lot of things to weed out casual fans.
