I never considered myself a songwriter, but now since I've been working with Nick Lowe, I am contributing to an extent. But I'm the guitarist and he's not, so we compliment each other in a way.

Rock 'n' roll will never die. There'll always be some arrogant little brat who wants to make music with a guitar.

It was all recorded and mixed and there's more continuity in it more direction.

And then it got even worse, I mean, a few people fell by the wayside within hours. Nick Lowe was in it for about 5 hours I think, he was expelled for going to bed.

This band has never had an argument. It's just amazing.

This revolution will be noted. It will be successful and above all, it will be in words.

I'm sentimental--I know. I'm desperate and silly--I know that too. Oh, help me!

Tao loves and nourishes all things, but does not dominate it over them.

Don't be afraid of pressure. Pressure is what transforms a lump of coal into a diamond.

The whole world was nothing but an exile with no hope of a return.
