Would you know my name, if I saw you in Heaven?

Every time you pick up your guitar to play, play as if it's the last time.

My driving philosophy about making music is that you can reduce it all down to one note if that note is played with the right kind of sincerity.

Risk is trying to control something you are powerless over.

Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.

It's been up to me to inspire me.

One of the most beneficial things I've ever learned is how to keep my mouth shut.

All along this path I tread, my heart betrays my weary head, with nothing but my love to save, from the cradle to the grave.

Music became a healer for me. And I learned to listen with all my being. I found that it could wipe away all fear and confusion.

For me there is something primitively soothing about this music, and it went straight to my nervous system, making me feel ten feet tall.

There are people these days who can do things on the guitar which are beyond my reach. There's one guy who plays with Queen who can do things I would dream of doing. I sincerely mean that.

Many today view love and doctrine as enemies, or at best as rivals.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Nobody knows exactly what he's capable of until he tries!

I was the all-American face. You name it, honey - American Dairy Milk, Metropolitan Life insurance, McDonald's, Burger King. The Face That Didn't Matter - that's what I called my face.

There are some things only intellectuals are crazy enough to believe.

It is hard to write even the smallest piece of code correctly.

Be ever watchful. Be watchful of your thoughts, your deedsLest predjudice, resentment,hatred, and intolerance drive Her from your world... Again.

Nearly everything in the scheme of things works to dull a first-rate talent. But the worst probably is cowardice.

If people are crazy enough to dare, impossible things happen.

I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.
