I don't buy into that whole concept of success that I have this mountain with this moat around it and then I get into my big car and drive to my destination and never see people. That's not my concept of success.

In my travels all over the world, I have come to realize that what distinguishes one child from another is not ability, but access. Access to education, access to opportunity, access to love.

I play my enemies like a game of chess

God surrounded me with the right team, with the team that I needed to help me exercise all of my ideas. You need that. You need that army, you need that force.

Anything that is not growing is dead.

I am up there onstage alone with that guitar. I don't have to consider no one else and whether they are comfortable. I need very little.

Who you going to tell when the repercussions spin, showing off your ass because you think it's a trend.
