It's hard for me to just practice without writing something.

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.

I like to practice on the bass, but I don't do it as often as I should.

I have always felt I was more accurately a Hard Rock musician.

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.

Every day we encounter situations where we have to make a stand. Looking back, I could have not hand-picked a better song to be my first single.

I've been keeping my own naughty and nice list for Washington.

Here I am starting a franchise and I'm gonna be 65 years old. I should've started this in 1978... I wrote like 300 songs and I'm gonna have to re-learn some of them!

I have been sought out by a number of people who would have felt uncomfortable coming to a large public meditation. They don't want people to come up and ask for autographs.

I grew up in a culturally radical home, where strong emotions were forbidden.

Cleveland fans are awesome.

Don't be ashamed of being a woman and don't be ashamed to be an accomplished woman.

I want to make clothes that people will wear, not styles that will make a big splash on the runway.

The big thing about writing is three commands: Have fun. Don't think. Don't care.
