We work super hard to not have to work

For me, when you get to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, there's a side of me that goes, "What does that mean? Are you still relevant after that? Do they put you on the shelf along with the award?" I don't know, but that's the last thing we wanted.

I started playing bass for the same reason everyone else does – I’m a lousy guitarist.

For me, it's important to get back to fundamentally what it feels like to be an American. We all come from different backgrounds, but we come together and create this world. It's like a microcosm for the rest of the world. I want people to feel unity when they come to a show.

At the end of the day, if you follow the music, it'll take you on a really, really great journey

Happiness is a road traveled, not a destination.

I think that's the most important thing you can do to be a real person - is to be honest with yourself.
