Musicians playing together, it's a conversation, and ideally I want our conversation to be really intriguing and interesting and beautiful.

I like unkempt; I don't mind if I have holes in my jacket or whatever. I think people should look more the way they feel.

I'm not interested in a persona.

I didn't want to be told what to do. I don't want to water down my music to fit into their formats. I know what rock and roll is to me, but everything's turning into one big commercial.

If you had told me at 45 years old that I would have to go on tour to get rest, I would've said, 'That's not how it works.' But nothing can be more gratifying. I'm a very hands-on dad.

It's funny, after a while, you get tired of having to fight someone because they don't like the way you look.

I never thought I'd be on the cover of the 'Atlanta Journal' unless I killed someone.

How many new rock stars have come around that have anything to say at all? Guys where you even want to know what they're thinking? Are they thinking? Where did it go astray?

In 2000, I fell in love. I had never felt anything like that before in my life. It kind of took me over.

Life is different than it was in the Nineties. I'm a dad, and there are other things I have to get done in an afternoon than just being an artist.

I'm not a big fan of Robert Plant's lyrics or his singing.

you are not a failure, belive that you can do what people think you can not do,

When you seek through the light you may find what you want to see. When you seek within the dark you will find who you really are.

Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.

The most strongly enforced of all known taboos is the taboo against knowing who or what you really are behind the mask of your apparently separate, independent, and isolated ego.

In real life I'm pretty easy going and pretty chill, I'm not the party girl who will go wild and crazy necessarily.

There emanates from superlatives a destructive force.

No story is the same to us after a lapse of time; or rather we who read it are no longer the same interpreters.

Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!

The openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family.

The nearest way to glory a shortcut, as it were is to strive to be what you wish to be thought to be.
