You need eagles wings to get over things that make no sense in this world.

It's funny how the music industry is enraged about the Internet and the way things are copied without being paid for. But you know why people steal the music? Because they can't afford the music.

If I'd had to work at Taco Bell I'd have still been out at night trying to play music.

The music has to be affordable. It's the common man that keeps it going, and if you price it out of his realm, it becomes a thing of the elite.

Take back your insurance, baby, nothing is guaranteed. Take back your acid rain, let your TV bleed.

I'm more interested in what I'm going to leave behind me than in making a big hit record. I've refined what I do for a long time. If getting better at it means it goes over the heads of those who only wanted to party, then so be it.

Go after what you really love and find a way to make that work for you, and then you'll be a happy person.
