One thing I've learned to appreciate as I've gotten a little older is direct forms of communication.

I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking.

Most of my arguments with musicians through the years have had more to do with their attitude about music, or their attitude about their own lives, or their personal responsibility. Music has never really been the big centerpiece of the fight.

You know Americans are obsessed with life and death and rebirth, that's the American Cycle. You know, awakening, tragic, horrible death and then Phoenix rising from the ashes. That's the American story, again and again.

The great thing about rock n' roll is, if you want to fight - like, fight the system, fight the man, fight the government, fight the people in front of you - it's Don Quixote all over again. You're really chasing windmills.

Calm, open debate, and logical thought drive strength to its maximum effectiveness.

I do not trust those who make the vaccines, or the apparatus behind it all to push it on us through fear.

People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that's gonna be unpopular.

I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It's a journey of recovery. It's a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It's already there.

You've got to be ready to be in a great relationship.

Like any good tree that one would hope to grow, we must set our roots deep into the ground so that what is real will prosper in the Light of Love.
