I'm somewhat of a hoarder. I keep everything.

All I can do is do what I can do, and do what I know how to do. I do what I love to do, and that's pretty much it.

I know that I'm capable of moving around on the guitar. I can express myself the way I want to and feel good about it. But as far as technical chops, I'm not a learned musician.

There's nothing like a music festival. People are ready to have a good time. I don't think anyone comes to a festival going, 'I'm gonna be a complete bummer today.

I don't think anything can touch the expressive range of the guitar.

Music is soaking up things that I see in other people or things that go on in my life, and I put it out there in the form of a song.

When I was growing up, I would go hang out with older guys at night in blues clubs.

I've been called 'musically schizophrenic,' and some people think that's a cool thing.

Most of my songs start out as being very aggressive and guitar-driven.

When I got my first guitar, I played along with everything I heard that had guitar in it, like the Ramones, Nirvana and Sublime, as well as whatever hip-hop and R&B stuff was on the radio.

I am the type of artist where you can't tell me anything. I have always been that way. I am right. I don't need any input.

By that which you kill are you bound.

Behind your skin, your bones, your heart and your mind, you are simply a mirror of the universe, all of its history and its future in a single breath.

If a man will identify with God in everything, God will use a man like that as His representative

I go the way that Providence dictates with the assurance of a sleepwalker.

I do what I do out of pure enjoyment. Hopefully, nobody does it better. There's a beauty to making a great deal. It's my canvas. And I like painting it.

The biggest problem is typically overly ambitious expectations combined with undercapitalization.

I know what happened to my foundation, from raising no money to raising $500m, serving three million people. Do we want to take that away? I don't think anybody says yes.

It's really rare to get a teenage role that resembles something of what it's like to be a young person, that isn't a cliché or a stereotype.

Meditation is perhaps the master key for all our problems.
