It is very difficult to tell Americans that they can't do something.

I cling to my memories of glorious desperation.

I do a lot of walking around in game parks, rain forests, places like that, but it's not like I'm camping in them as much as my day walks. I've done that all over the world, not like with a backpack on my back living out in the woods for several days. When I travel abroad, it's more the city that captures my interest.

Since the last tour I have done a lot of extensive travel to Iraq, Kuwait, Siberia, South Korea and other places and picked up some hopefully interesting stories. We are living in interesting times and as bad as things are, I draw considerable inspiration from some of the things I'm seeing and people I'm meeting. I'm looking forward to getting out on the road and talking about it all.

Music, to me, is mankind's greatest possible achievement because look at all the good it does.

Respect is not a one way street

I have built my life to pursue the new. I don't have family, don't know many people and I am usually ready to leave within an hour.
