You know, you've got to be careful with how you educate your kids in rock'n'roll fashion.

Rock and roll doesn't allow you to grow up - especially if you're not trying very hard to.

The thing is, unfortunately, I write the best songs when I'm miserable.

You are only as big as your experiences.

I can't read sheet music, I have to just listen to it, and then just go for it.

Computers and the Internet have made it really easy to rant. It's made everyone overly opinionated.

Making an album should be an honest experience. It shouldn't be about trying to gauge where popular music is today; it should be about artistic expression and putting down what you want to put down.

Sing the song or keep it inside.

I tend to get my hands into all these other things and all these distractions, and after a while I start feeling depleted.

I prefer a three-piece suit myself. Very sixties rock and roll. But they're not too quirky. Businessmen could wear them.

Writing the songs and producing the songs and arranging them and recording them is your canvas and your palette and your brush.

What we (U.S.) have done, is undertaken diplomacy through public assertions that tend to alienate everyone.

Start-ups should be based on radical ideas. There should be a high failure rate for start-ups, because if there isn't their ideas aren't bold enough.

How fragile our lives are anyway. How quickly things can change forever.

Once we decide we have to do something, we can go miles ahead.
