These poor kids in Baghdad have no running water, no showers. They wipe with baby wipes. My heart goes out to them.

Bringing people together is one of my favorite things... I believed that's what a rock 'n' roll Jesus would really do - bring people together through music.

As far as my street cred goes, I'll always have that, because I always hang with the kids. I'll jump right off the stage and buy them a beer. I'll be a star on stage, but I'll always hang with the kids.

I'm actually a pretty decent human being, and when I'm home I'm straight as an arrow.

If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If its marketed right, you'll buy it. But... If its real... you'll feel it.

Surround yourself with good people. Whether they're the best or not, people are capable of learning if they've got good hearts and they're good souls.

I've never done songs with people just for the sake of the great combination. I've always done songs with friends.
