For me, gradually over the years, you refined your tastes in the way you do things and it becomes maybe less experimental.

I've never had any religion. I'd prefer it if I did, really. Even as a boy I just couldn't make myself believe.

I like watching sports, you know, all sorts of stuff.

Subconsciously you just pick up things into your sort of musical vocabulary and use them.

It's crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations.

I think once you've seen a song with a video, it limits your own mind's ability to read into it anything other than what you've seen.

You know, once you've had that guitar up so loud on the stage, where you can lean back and volume will stop you from falling backward, that's a hard drug to kick.
