I'm a big believer in spontaneity.

In the early days all I hoped was to make a living out of what I did best. But, since there's no real market for masturbation I had to fall back on my bass playing abilities.

Comedians get jokes offered to them, rock stars get women and underwear thrown onstage, and I get guys that want to take me fishing.

To defy the laws of tradition is a crusade only of the brave.

Because nobody wanted to play bass, I was instantly in a band.

I'll run against the grain till the day I drop?

Daniel Day-Lewis is my favorite actor walking the planet right now. He never ceases to amaze me.

Music in general is looking for something new overall.

More than anything, I think the best thing you can do as an artist is just stay as true to yourself as possible and hope that your fan base will appreciate that.

You can't watch 'Dr. Strangelove' with commercials. That would be sacrilegious.

I like to open new doors and blaze new trails through the jungle and all that whatnot. What keeps me goin all these years is changin it up.

Work with enthusiasm.

I have no other possessions of value but my soul.

It is the absence of bars that makes a beast free - but only the truth can make a man free.

You can’t be content with mastery; you have to push yourself to become a student again.

There is an artist imprisoned in each one of us. Let him loose to spread joy everywhere.

The subliminal self is in no way inferior to the conscious self. It knows how to choose and to divine.

Let hopes and sorrows, fears and angers be, And think each day that dawns the last you'll see; For so the hour that greets you unforeseen Will bring with it enjoyment twice as keen.

Nonviolence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence.

It is often said that it's a man's world; we must change this fact and create this: It's a human's world!

The lightt of love flows out of our soul, but often it is blocked by our fear to show it.
