I'm not very good at multi-tasking. Most people aren't, but they think they are. The mind is really better when you're really focused on one thing.

Man is the only animal that knows he's going to die, so we invent a heaven to keep from going crazy. Most people are hypnotized by organized religion from childhood.

When you learn that a truth is a lie, anger follows.

Through your life, most people peel away the junk that's not useful, that's superfluous. You are determined to peel that away. I do one thing at a time. One man at a time. One car. One house. One child. One job.

I left rock and roll professionally at about 49. That's too long as far as I'm concerned. Some people can do it; it depends on what you were.

I don't want to see old people doing rap or rock and roll. It makes me cringe.

I don't like to be told what to do at all. That's unfortunate because a lot of people come up with good ideas and can direct you.
