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

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.

If I hadn’t had Freddie Mercury’s lyrics to hold on to as a kid I don’t know where I would be. It taught me about all forms of music… it would open my mind. I never really had a bigger teacher in my whole life.

I like to be real private; you don’t always want everyone around you – even when they like you.

If love is blind I guess I’ll buy myself a cane.

Let sleeping dogs lie or lying dogs sleep or whatever. Time to move on. People get divorced. Life doesn’t owe you your own personal happy ending especially at another’s, or in this case several others’, expense.

I don’t even know my own phone number.

I like feeling a sense of unity with the crowd even though everybody might be thinking something different.

Life sucks, but in a beautiful kind of way.

Regarding social media, I really dont understand what appears to be the general populations lack of concern over privacy issues in publicizing their entire lives on the Internet for others to see to such an extent… but hey its them, not me, so whatever.

People can do whatever they want to, but I’m more pro-hetero. I’m not knocking it – I have friends that are gay. It’s just that it’s not my cup of tea, l guess. That’s all. People can do what they want.

Fear is where there is no love. Love is where there is no fear.

At times I enjoy writing and at others times I just hate it because it’s definitely having to go back and experience some pain and express what you really feel.

It’s really hard to maintain a one-on-one relationship if the other person is not going to allow me to be with other people.

Be bitter, stay angry, and blame everyone!

November Rain is a song about not wanting to be in a state of having to deal with unrequited love.

Peace is an armistice in a war that is continuously going on.

I cannot imagine any writer who would not fight for his peace and quiet.

The time has long since come for truth, transparency, and talks in every sector of society, including media, advertisement and entertainment. We can challenge each other, gain understanding, and create a more just, humane, and peaceful world.

Women must have seats at the table because peace is too crucial to be left only to the politicians or only to the male half of our world.

You can’t find peace by hiding from life.

What a sight of storm you are as a lie beside me in your deep, peaceful slumber.

The moment you accept that there’s a guidance system supporting you, then you experience a new sense of freedom and peace.

I wanted peace, they gave me silence.
