“There’s something about heartbreak that makes for great music, but the same could be said for Jägermeister. Hangovers make for great music, too.”

From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.

It’s not until recently that I could even imagine myself as an adult. But these kids today, they look at me like I’m Neil Young. Nirvana is the band their parents listen to.

I was ready to quit music. It felt to me like music equalled death.

Wow, I get to wake up again? Ok. You have to make good with what you’ve got.

Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that’s stripped down.

Your personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.

The most important thing for me is my family, and my health and happiness, and making sure everyone’s cool.

Never lose faith in real rock and roll music. Never lose faith in that. You might have to look a little harder, but it’s always going to be there.

I think people should feel encouraged to be themselves.

There’s always gonna be rock n’ roll bands, there’s always gonna be kids that love rock n’ roll records, and there will always be rock n’ roll.

There’s nothing I’d rather do than make music. It’s the love of my life.

Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that’s the most important thing for people to do.

If there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s gathering people together to do something fun.

That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.

If it weren’t for the Beatles, I would not be a musician.

How come drummers leave their drumsticks on the dashboard of their car? So they can park in the handicapped spaces.

You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.

We suffer more in imagination than in reality.

People who say “It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” never felt a broken heart.

Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.

All so convinced that you’re following your heart cause your mind don’t control what it does sometimes.

The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.

True love is the one that does not get a destination.

Pain is a treasure, for it contains mercies.
