I hate saying that youth is wasted on the young since it's so f**king stupid, but I think you realize if you're fortunate enough to realize what you have, you don't want to sleep as much or squander any time. It's weird, but early in your career you don't stop to smell the roses since you're too busy picking them.

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

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

When I listen to songs, I can smell a rat. I like songs that speak to me with some deeper truth.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

I'm an optimist, so I believe in some sort of life after death; I don't know what kind.

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