I've done a lot of talk shows where you can tell that the host is just thinking about what he wants to say next while you're answering him and that's really uncomfortable.

It's impossible to compare two bands. It would be like comparing two lovers.

I'm either shooting nine grams of coke a day or spending two hours at the gym. There's no middle ground.

I have never been sexually aroused by a man. But I have yet to kiss Johnny Depp, so you never know.

I grew up listening to albums by Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix, and they all worked on that multi-layered level.

I wish I was a shredder that could play everything, but I don't have the patience.

I'm as obsessive with health as I was with destruction.

So as long as I can do the music or create, I'll feel fine.

Love sustains life.

We can't see and we can't reach the true frontiers of our ignorance

So many people want to be successful, but most of them are fearful or doubtful of the path that leads to it. This is way the land of success is far from being crowded.

Do one thing everyday that scares you. Those small things that make us uncomfortable help us build courage to do the work we do.

One thing I always found hard to stomach over the past few years is that being a DJ or musician is a career opportunity.

When you're going through tough moments, you never know when you're going to have good moments.

Being confident and believing in your own self-worth is necessary to achieving your potential.
