The cutthroat avenues of rock 'n' roll, I am fed up with. I don't want anything to do with it.

I may not be the devil, but I know just how he feels.

We have a thousand points of light for the homeless man. We've got a kinder gentler machine gun hand.

And as an afterthought, this too must be told: Some people have taken pure bullshit and turned it into gold.

It's injustice. It's wrong. [The pipeline companies] didn't get the permission. They didn't do the things they should have done in the first place. They tried to just bully their way through there and they got stopped. But they're not really stopping.

This is the 21st century, we are a highly evolved race, our capabilities are so great compared to what we are doing. We have been lulled into addiction and everything is built around it and you have to break out of it and think outside of the box.

I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.
