For me, L.A. was, and is, a very creative place to be.

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.

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

I cry looking at our reality, through slave eyes. I bet they would say our generation has crossed the line.

Lift your eyes and look on the FIELDS (Jon 4:35), there are viable opportunities

As co-chair of the Iraqi Women's Caucus in the House, I've enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate with and hear from Iraqi women elected to serve in the new National Assembly.

I'm not careful with my money at all these days. I buy people a lot of dinners!

The early expression of my youth was filled with all the aspects of art.

Boxing is the sport to which all other sports aspire.

People seldom learn from the mistakes of others-not because they deny the value of the past, but because they are faced with new problems.

Some things you can only learn in the struggle. When it's easy, when everything is going your way, that doesn't take any faith.

Football is about making mistakes. Who makes the most, loses the game.

In the end, it is our defiance that redeems us.
