I love Black Sabbath. They made an amazing contribution to music today. Almost every band that made it big in the Nineties owed a debt to them.

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.

My mother was a public school teacher in Virginia, and we didn't have any money, we just survived on happiness, on being a happy family.

People are so into digital recording now they forgot how easy analog recording can be.

And later, if I ever felt that I was getting swept away by the craziness of being in a band, well, I'd go back to Virginia.

You will only be great at things you love to do don't pursue a career in something you hate to do.

Never lose faith in real rock and roll music. Never lose faith in that. You might have to look a little harder, but it's always going to be there.

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can't replace the magic of four people in a room playing.

You don't dare think whole even to yourself the entirety of a dear hope or wish let alone a desperate one else you yourself have doomed it.

The little Road says Go The little House says Stay And oh it's bonny here at home But I must go away.

I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.

Just as compassion is the wish that all sentient beings be free of suffering, loving-kindness is the wish that all may enjoy happiness.

If someone comes up to me, 90 percent of the time it's about Office Space.

Beneath the skin, beyond the differing features and into the true heart of being, fundamentally, we are more alike, my friend, than we are unalike.

We must get to the place of real solitude with Christ. He is our mountain-height and our sea-calm.

When I follow my heart, usually the results are good.

It was good and nothing good is ever lost.

Both hurting and happiness make me feel more alive, but as I get older it seems that hurting's the low hanging fruit. So I pick it.
