Music saved me; I mean, my upbringing was like a hurricane, and music was the tree I held onto.

I've got my indignation but I'm pure in all my thoughts.

If it's a band I like, I just hope they will survive it all. And I'll admit that if it's crap music, I hope they won't and it'll go away. Simply because there are too many great bands who should be heard in their place.

I'm optimistic yet disillusioned, hopeful yet frustrated.

I don't trust nobody, especially when they say something good.

No music is going to stop the war. What's going to stop the war is a large amount of body bags, or a large amount of people in the streets, protesting it before it starts.

You feel that no matter what's said in the music or how pointed it may get, the most you can wish for is that it plants a few seeds.
