The most important part of my religion is to play guitar.

I never liked the Beatles. I thought they were garbage.

Sound is more than just noise. Ordered sound is music. My life is music.

But it's not only: What are you going to do about touring, it's: What are you going to do with your life? Is there a point to what we do? I think there is. Making music, creating beautiful things. We have to be in love with the good and the beautiful. If we are not, then you're in a nihilistic state.

Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor, that's what the Statue of Bigotry says. Your poor huddled masses, let's just club them to death, and get it over with.

I wish I had a talking book that told me how to act and look, a talking book that contained keys to past and present memories

Between thought and expression lies a lifetime.
