Ignorance is indeed bliss, but it is also dangerous and embarrassing.

I surround myself with positive, productive people of good will and decency.

I am always writing music. I have got unlimited ideas because I have been clean and sober for my entire life.

Practice, practice, practice. Practice until you get a guitar welt on your chest...if it makes you feel good, don't stop until you see the blood from your fingers. Then you'll know you're on to something!

James Brown's Live at the Apollo is not just a musical whiplash, it's a spiritual cleansing. You can just close your eyes and see him doing the splits, kicking the mic stand and doing a 360.

If you don't have a sense of humor, you'll hurt yourself arguing with me.

I'm an extremist? I don't think so. I think people that call me an extremist are extremely brain dead and soulless.
