I think young people should travel and travel often to other countries like I do.

I am very ambitious in a way, in that I'm not trying to be the richest guy or whatever. I just really like my work.

You must never lower yourself to being a person you don't like.

The talking shows are like free jazz. I'm just gonna go out there and blow with the idea of keeping it streamlined and not wasting time. It's wild. And it's a great thing when you see a performer really able to.

Where there is young people and vitality, you're going to find punk rock.

I tend to gravitate to the darkest or most obscure part of any venue in an effort to have my own space to experience the music on my own, free from unwanted conversations and other distractions.

I was happy to find out that when on tour, Dolly Parton doesn't use hotels but stays on her bus every night, to the point of having her buses shipped from Austria to Australia so she can tour the way she sees fit. I used one of her buses once - an honor.
