If you start planning too far ahead, the next thing you know you forget you're living today

Music's awesome, it's the closest thing we have to magic.

Sometimes you need coffee, and sometimes you need a Bloody Mary.

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

There's no way you could get me onstage with someone that I didn't like. No way. I would never do that. We have our gripes and stuff like that. All bands have their drama, but life is too short to be miserable around somebody that you don't like.

Listen to the silence. Listen to your life. Be present, not just think about what's going on next week, next month.

First and foremost, I want people on concerts to have a really great experience away from the negative press and negative stuff that you see on the news and Facebook. I don't even like seeing people's cell phones. Let's have a human experience and rub up against each other, you know.
