I'm most in my element on tour, with a gig that day, like today. I'm on the road where I am supposed to be. I will be where I'm supposed to be at nighttime, on stage, in front of people, doing my thing.

My desires are foolish. The things I want are better kept to myself. The hand of silence is steady. The hard blade of silence is clean like night. The code is absolute. Silence is eternal and patient. Silence never makes a fool of itself like I have so many times.

With a book, there's no volume to turn up. You're very naked with a book.

As far as what people think of me, maybe my stuff should just be put online for free downloads when I'm gone.

One of the most insane environments I have ever spent time in is a gun range. There we are, all in a line, armed to the teeth, firing away.

Those who seek to profit by division don't stand a chance.

It is just that I don't want a wife and I don't want kids.
