I worry about my voice 24/7 when I'm on tour. It's like a pitcher and his arm. It's constantly the thing that my whole life revolves around.

My studio is designed for atmosphere. I have a really cozy, comfortable room that has a great, huge glass door that views my backyard.

There was a time when fast playing and fretboard pyrotechnics on the bass were important to me and when I am recording a bass track, that is still very important to me.

Invisible airwaves crackle with life Bright antennae bristle with the energy Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free

Music is all about wanting to be better at it.

And the meek shall inherit the earth.

I'm a big believer of daylight in the studio.

I guess, we were people who just dedicated to trying to get better.

A photograph is a kind of time machine.

Joy is not an alternative to opposition; it is part of a compound that includes opposition.

The failure of love, that's what all laws are really.

No self-effort in the direction of enlightenment is ever wasted. Even if you don't become fully enlightened in a given lifetime, you will be much happier and more aware.

When a woman gets the idea of justice, there's no teaching her any sense.

In all my documentaries I did all the camera work, but in fiction I didn't want to do it myself. I think the machinery is so heavy and demanding that you would leave the actors alone for a long time.

The machine unmakes the man. Now that the machine is so perfect, the engineer is nobody.

The solutions all are simple - after you have arrived at them. But they're simple only when you know already what they are.
