I don't feel like embarrassing Kurt by talking about what a psycho hosebeast his wife is, especially when he knows it already.

Know what you're trying to do before you do it. Turning knobs at random isn't enlightening any more than throwing paint at a wall blindfolded will let you paint a nice picture.

The single best thing that has happened in my lifetime in music, after punk rock, is being able to share music, globally for free.

For less than the cost of a Big Mac, fries and a Coke, you can buy a loaf of fresh bread and some good cheese or roast beef, which you will enjoy much more.

In heaven, after antipasti, the first course will be pasta.

It betrays hubris on the part of the artist to think his medium is limiting him, and I think we all recognize this

Doubt the conventional wisdom unless you can verify it with reason and experiment

Find people who think like you and stick with them. Make only music you are passionate about. Work only with people you like and trust. Don't sign anything.

Many rock musicians are excellent cooks, I've found, and those that are prefer to eat their own cooking in the studio. I encourage this behavior as I also enjoy the benefits of fresh food

I stopped drinking almost immediately after I had ready access to liquor, when I got to college. It almost immediately lost its appeal for me.

Im busy doing my job, and being a loudmouth doesnt appeal to me as much as when I was younger and had the youthful delusion that I was smarter than everybody else.

Men marched away, Vimes. And men marched back. How glorious the battles would have been that they never had to fight!

Don't you try and go through life worrying about if somebody like you or not. You best be making sure they doing right by you.

Whose starboard eyeSaw chariot 'swing low'?

I believe deeply that we must find, all of us together, a new spirituality.

Why wouldn't you want to be the envy of your neighbors by being so good and so generous and so smart in how you use the power that you obviously have? That's my patriotism.

I hate people like that...who have no pride in themselves.

There are lots of actors out there who are hugely, hugely talented and haven't got the breaks I've had.

My wife doesn't even want to spend 2 hours with me.

I am extremely intentional in making the environment around me playful and loving. I have great skill in that area.

Where are people going? I wonder what they hope will happen and what they are afraid of? For me it's the same thing and has to do with being loved.
