“Don’t look for an unshakable rock to stand on; there ain’t any! Rather, learn how to stand still on a shaking rock!”

When you look at a beautiful view from a window, the beautiful view also looks at you from the same window! But the window looks at both you and the view! Wise man is the window itself; he looks at everywhere!

Hard roads are not opened by themselves; they are opened by some brave people!

If the view is very beautiful, do not sit and watch; go to the view, be in the view!

An ordinary visit to a beautiful garden always creates an extraordinary time!

Sometimes it is good to fall down so that we can see whether we honourably get up or disgracefully turn into a miserable reptile!

Without water drops, there can be no oceans; without steps, there can be no stairs; without little things, there can be no big things!

Whenever you find a good idea, search for the owner to honour him!

When you reached the summit, you will see that you are still tiny!

Only the hardest roads make us really feel that we are alive! Leave the easy roads!

If you want to do something very praiseworthy and very saintly, make a child happy!

We see the man when we look at the monkey; we see the monkey when we look at the man!

Everything cannot be possible without thinking that everything is possible!

One hundred sparrow does not make one eagle.

An honourable public and a dishonourable dictator cannot live together; at the end, the latter goes!

Like a garbage truck, we need a ‘lie-truck’ which will collect lies from everyone’s houses every morning, even every hour!

You cannot separate the old furniture from the memories and the memories from the old furniture!

Being a new band, I just can’t think of a better way to get your name out to all of the Hard-Rock crowd than playing with twenty of the biggest Hard-Rock bands in the world.

That was our first major tour and we got a chance to play in front of like 5000 people every day so it was like a Rock and Roll boot camp for us really

They’re all a huge influence on me. For me, just following rock history and watching Darkness On the Edge of Town and realizing that’s it’s okay to be obsessed with a snare sound because Bruce Springsteen was obsessed with a snare sound.

We just wanted to get as far away from the rap-rock scene as possible, because its been done and other bands do it better than us anyway.

Music was a way of rebelling against the whole rah-rah high school thing.

People want to talk about whether I have rock cred, whether I’m selling out, the theatricality, the gay stuff… Chill out! And just enjoy yourself.

I think Lady Gaga is great and is changing pop music and bringing back a certain rock ‘n’ roll spirit, swagger to the game.

I listen to crazy, robust rock music where they sing their faces off, and soul music, which can be similar.
