We weren't put here to be miserable. We were put here to do the best we can, and we should take our energy and improve our state of being.

It's interesting to be playing a father who's on the other side because that's not my world and not where I came from.

Nine out of ten groups that came out in '89 are gone. I'm still here.

I am still into the people I listened to growing up, so I completely remember what is like to be a fan, I haven't changed.

At 10 o'clock in the morning I'd go right in the studio. It feels good to be there in the morning before the day starts to mess with you - I don't mean in a negative way, but before I'd speak to a lot of people or get into anything, I'd go in there and just see what I felt. A lot happens in the morning for me in the studio.

None of those material possessions do anything to make your life any better.... I know a lot of people who have a lot of everything, and they're absolutely the most miserable people in the world. So it won't do anything for you unless you're a happy person and can have peace with yourself.

You've got your entourage and people that help you make whatever happen around you. Everything's crazy and you're not paying attention to your inner feelings because you're so busy. I couldn't take it.
