There's a demon in me, and he's still around. Without the dope, we have a bit more of a chat these days.

Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions, and if it’s in the bones, it’s in the bones.

I don't like to go into the studio with all the songs worked out and planned before hand ... you've got to give the band something to use its imagination on as well. That can make a very ordinary song come alive into something totally different ... the X-factor - so important in rock and roll - which is the feel.

A painter's got a canvas. The writer's got reams of empty paper. A musician has silence.

Music works in mysterious ways. Once it goes in you have no idea what it can do to you.

If you're cool, you don't know nothing about it. It just is, or you ain't.

We age not by holding on to youth, but by letting ourselves grow and embracing whatever youthful parts remain.
