My first favorite band that made music important to me was the Beatles. I was a little kid. I didn't know who was singing what song or who wrote what song.

There's something about losing friends, particularly young people, where it's not something that you get over. I don't believe there's a healing process.

If you're an American kid, you can't help but be influenced by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and the Rolling Stones because they're always on the radio.

I play Texas Hold'em on my Blackberry. I have amassed a fortune on that. I have almost 30 million dollars from playing. It is unreal.

Due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences, I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave. I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future endeavours.

In the United States, workouts tend to focus on body image and how you look. For me, it's really all about the brain.

And if you don't believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.
