“I’m late to everything. I’ve always wanted to have it written in my will that when I die, the coffin shows up a half hour late and says on the side, like in gold, ‘Sorry I’m Late’.”

What’s so civil about war anyway?

If you are really into waiting, try holding your breath for Jesus, ’cause I hear the payoff may be that much greater.

I go to movies, go out with friends, go to car shows. I have a zoo.

Many times drugs and alcohol – there’s a technical term that they’re called, emotional suppressants – are the only things that can help a person survive and get through and be able to deal with their pain.

Freddie Mercury and Elton John are, like, two of the biggest Influences in my whole life. And probably always will be.

I write the vocals last, because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it.

I discovered I scream the same way whether I’m about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot.

I sing in five or six different voices that are all part of me. Its not contrived.

I personally don’t do any hard drugs, because they get in the way of me getting to my base issues, and I’d rather get rid of the excess baggage than find a way to shove it deeper in the closet.

There was a much more self-destructive nature in ‘Appetite.’ It was a going-for-it-at-all-cost thing that worked then.

I guess I like who I am now. I’d just like to have a little more internal peace. I’m sure everybody would.

We take it for granted we know the whole story – We judge a book by its cover and read what we want between selected lines.

I’d just like to say that I have a personal disgust for small dogs, like poodles. I have some serious physical problems with them. Everything about them means I must kill them. I must.

We are made up of two contrasting ideals: Love And Fear. Pick One and Live.

In general I usually don’t really go by or live my life by a clock and outside of touring I don’t really ask anyone else to. It’s not out of lack of respect for anyone or intentional.

I feel I have a responsibility to myself, a responsibility to explain where we’re coming from. Because a song or the performance of a song is a lot like a work of art.

The girl with the heart of gold, bled for you in ink.

The girl with the heart of gold, bled for you in ink.

If they are still standing by your side when your armor is off. When your walls are down. When your heart is broken. And your scars are visible. Tuck them into your arms like gold. And do not let them go.

Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men.

Good friends are more valuable than silver or gold.

Over the long run, the price of gold approximates the total amount of money in circulation divided by the size of the gold stock. If the market price of gold moves a long way from this level, it may indicate a buying or selling opportunity.

So this was where lust was satisfied. If I’d been an old-time miner I’d have asked for my gold nugget back.

You look at me and see the girl,who lives inside the golden world,but don’t believe, that’s all there is to see,you’ll never know the real me.
