I want to write some books. Books that have nothing to do with music, just some fiction type of books for a whole different audience of people.

What you create for you, no one can take from you.

You have gotta lose your mind Just to find your peace of mind.

Cause nothing really is and everything really isn’t.

Change is inevitable. Why hold onto what you have to let go of?

I’m cool with nothing cause even nothing is something

Go with the wind, you know, like a sailboat. I think that's really important when it comes to peace… inner peace especially. You can't help anyone else if you don't have it together for yourself.

Life only gets harder, but you gotta get stronger.

I stopped looking at people's opinions. It's easy to get caught up in what other people think.

Love side, hate side, never in between

Suffering is optional. You’re gonna have some pain but it doesn’t have to make you suffer.

I don’t want to kill you, but I must. For the good of the country.

I have so much confidence in the reality of Jesus that I feel no pressure to try to make people act or be a certain way. I'm banking everything on the fact that God actually changes people.

If black boxes survive air crashes - why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.

When you think you're listening to several conversations at once, they tell me, you may really simply be time sharing - that is, listening a little bit to this one, a little bit to that one

I don't really like jokes in a way. I mean gags are fine but I like weird moments where what you have isn't really a joke, just tiny moments.

Painting is a hobby for me.

Surely there never was so evil a thing as money, which maketh cities into ruinous heaps, and banisheth men from their houses, and turneth their thoughts from good unto evil.

I have grown up with guns all my life, but people who like assault weapons they should join the United States Army, we have them.
