To me music is the centre of the universe and the voice of the spirits and the voice of God and the voice of all the people who have lived and died...At least the ones I'm connected to.

What's gone will never come back, but it exists when you think of it.

Rock music is electronic music, dependent entirely on electronic circuitry and amplification.

Mainly, I don't like it when music is made solely to impress people or in order to please business people; it doesn't sound good to me. If you're making music in order to become famous or loved by the masses that's not what I'm about. When somebody's making music for the wrong reasons, I hear it right away.

It's about the music, it's not about just showing people what you can do with a piece of wood with strings on it

Make sure you stay in touch with beauty instead of letting the ugliness of the world corrupt your soul

Everything's very perfectly balanced; for all the horrible things in the world there's lots of good things.
