Maybe I'm just flying my own little ego ship, but sometimes people resent talent.

Does anyone remember laughter?

The essence of my lyrics is the desire for peace and harmony. That's all anyone has ever wanted. How could it become outdated?...We are trying to communicate a fulfilled ideal...I am a reflection of what I sing. Sometimes I have to get serious because the things I've been through are serious...The way I see it, rock n' roll is folk music.

I don't see what the point is in growing up.

I love the feeling of letting fly, of pushing as far as I could go with my voice. The only way you can really graduate how you do it is by doing it regularly to people who don't have to be super impressed. You can do it in the studio all day long but you don't get the flashback that you get onstage.

Ten minutes in the music scene is the equal of one hundred years outside of it.

You feel quite distant by playing at huge stadiums year after year, where you only can see a great darkness in front of you
