I wanted to play saxophone, but all I could get were a few squeaks.

You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other - our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That's to help each other, not hurt each other.

I use heavy strings, tune low, play hard, and floor it. Floor it. That's technical talk.

Your sound is in your hands as much as anything. It's the way you pick, and the way you hold the guitar, more than it is the amp or the guitar you use.

Music really is a way to reach out and hold on to each other in a healthy way.

The way people come into your life when you need them, it's wonderful and it happens in so many ways. It's like having an angel. Somebody comes along and helps you get right.

I don't believe in deadlines, I don't believe in telling the enemy when we're going to withdraw.

Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.

All we need is the awareness of how blessed we really are.

Moments in time when the world is changing bring out the best and the worst in people.
