Going out and playing music - that's what I do. I don't do much else.

No one is you, and that is your power.

If you play a Nickleback song backwards you'll hear messages from the devil. Even worse, if you play it forwards you'll hear Nickleback.

That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.

I never needed much, and I never thought I'd get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.

Life is stripped of its flavor when folks are told that hell is waiting for them

The love of life is necessary to the vigorous prosecution of any undertaking.

Man must be in space - that is what we are destined for. There is nothing else that we can do.

Don’t panic, I thought. But already my breathing was faster, shallower. “You mean you can feel happy or sad or—” “Desire.” A barely-there smile.

I'm a multi-tasker. I was down with that stuff before they invented the term.

When it comes to exercise, I don't like anything that's too serious.

There is truth in the high opinion that in so far as a man conforms, he ceases to exist.

Happiness lies in the absorption in some vocation which satisfies the soul.
