Always have the highest bar for yourself.

Joining a band without ever having really met the people before, you just want to be musically powerful.

I believe the history of American music is just as important as anything political because it's changed generations of people.

A lot of people from my generation of music are so focused on playing things correctly or to perfection that they're stuck in that safe place.

From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.

And later, if I ever felt that I was getting swept away by the craziness of being in a band, well, I'd go back to Virginia.

I think that if you're passionate about something and you're driven and you're focused, then you can pretty much do anything that you want to do in life.
