A band isn't a band unless they're playing together. Otherwise it's just five guys that are living off their royalty checks.

I have always been fascinated with guns. I grew up in America so granted, it is part of our heritage and it is written into the laws of how this country is run.

I love Indian food - it's my favourite cuisine. I love the mixture of spices and the subtle flavours. It's really erotic; the spices are so sensuous.

Take life on life's terms - one day at a time. And have fun while you're doing it.

Get good live and get a following because that's what people notice.

I guess we all have a bad night now and then and really screw up. I listened to our earlier stuff and we screwed up a lot. But at least now that we are sober, when we screw up it's for real.

Music is music; you don't have to put a label on it.

I love to listen to the music that first inspired me - I get that fresh feeling back.

I don't see anyone avoiding the Stones because DJs make jokes about them being a part of the Geritol set. All it does is make the DJs look stupid.

I've come to realize that you live on through recordings; they're like a musical diary, a window into somebody's soul.

My chosen instrument is guitar and, fortunately, I'm able to muddle through that. I can play guitar to the point where I can express myself artistically.

A tongue is about the size of a bullet, but much more fierce and powerful.

Power doesn't back up in the face of a smile, or in the face of a threat of some kind of nonviolent loving action. It's not the nature of power to back up in the face of anything but some more power.

Change happens from the bottom up - all of us as individuals deciding that we will and we do have an impact.

Just for once I'd like to see all these things sort of straightened out, with each person getting exactly what he deserves. It might give me some confidence in this universe.

When you pray be sure that you listen as well as talk. You have things you want to say to God but He also has things He wants to say to you.

Become willing to see the hand of God and accept it as a friend's offer to help you with what you are doing.

I'm single and loving it. It is always weird talking about that stuff. When someone is talking about who they are going out with, I am always like, who cares? Talk about your music or something.

If the devil walks in and starts pointing out all kinds of things about you, you yawn. And you go, 'You don’t even know the half of it.'

I'm basically like, you know, learned pretty quickly the guy who throws the first punch usually wins, so when people gave me a hard time I just punched them.
