My guitar is really tempermental. I don't give up on it though, I'm close to my guitar!

Turn off the TV and start digging around for information that's not from a corporation trying to make money.

Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing.

Most of the music you hear on the radio today is developed for making money. It doesn't feel true or honest. You can feel it in the music.

This is how it has been since time began: If you want to make something really worthwhile and true, then you have to suffer for it.

If something bothers me, it bothers me for a long time until I find a way to work it out. Music provided me with a means of working things out.

Some guy refuses to fight and we call that the sin, but he's standing up for what he believes in and that seems pretty damned American to me.
