The beauty's in the scars.

I break my back for music because it's something that I love, but I'm not going to break my back for a bank. I wouldn't want to be an ATM repairman; there are some things that just aren't worth it.

Foolishly play with the fires of rumor, only to risk being burned by its treacherous flames.

Guitar solos, to me, should be a really articulate way to make fun of guitar solos.

I like to move forward and notice things along the roadside that indicate where I should go.

I like to keep my feet on the sidewalk.

I've always considered myself a workaholic... The way I work, I have to turn myself upside down and hang myself by my ankles and wring myself out like a wet sweater, and I have to do that with other people, too, because I think that's where something good comes out.
