“I really feel like the sky is the limit with the Innocent Criminals today.”

We’ve all got stardust in our bones.

If I’m inspired and music inspires me, then I will continue to play it.

I write songs and I sing them from the deepest part of my existence and I hope they connect with the deepest part of yours.

When you have everything, you have everything to lose.

But I would never insult the people that love this music and I would never insult the blessing of music in my life and I would never insult myself by playing uninspired music.

I grew up with the Blind Boys’ music. My family owns a music store in Claremont, California, called The Claremont Folk Music Center. I grew up with a heavy diet of gospel, folk, and blues because those are kind of the cornerstones of traditional American music.

Every man’s actions belong to him.

There’s no love like a lost love and no pain like a broken heart.

I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.

I’m more afraid of falling than I am of flying high. I’m not as scared of dying as I am of growing old. Every battle has its glory and its consequence.

My choice is what I choose to be.

My choice is what I choose to do and if I’m causing no harm it shouldn’t bother you. Your choice is who you choose to be and if you’re causin’ no harm, then your alright with me.

My main concern when travelling around the world is finding a place to skateboard!

My band is the best band in the world, period. So, I insist on every song being better than it is on the record. So by the end of the tour, we have to be playing the song better than how it’s recorded.

It turns out that there is something more magnificent than nature. It’s love.

The music is in the lead here, and a large part of this, I have no idea what I’m doing. I feel a closer bond with the craft of songwriting, stronger than I ever have.

Sinners cannot find God for the same reason that criminals cannot find a policeman: They aren’t looking!

All we had ever heard about record company people is that they were vampires and criminals…and they killed Elvis Presley.

I cannot comment on any player who has ongoing criminal charges and legal situations.

A trial without witnesses, when it involves a criminal accusation, a criminal matter, is not a true trial.

Who does Not Know the Truth, is simply a Fool… Yet who Knows the Truth and Calls it a Lie, is a Criminal.

I would, without any hesitation, shoot a violent criminal again.

The criminal justice system, like any system designed by human beings, clearly has its flaws.

The mood and temper of the public in regard to the treatment of crime and criminals is one of the most unfailing tests of the civilisation of any country.
