I think for it to be hip to be idealistic is weird, you know? I mean, even all the best rebels to me, had some sense of hope in them.

I’ve never had any idea that what I like would resonate with the audience, and I’m pleasantly surprised when it does.

That’s stupid. You couldn’t pay me to go. I’m not oversimplifying it. That’s what’s going on. I don’t think it would be any fun without the drugs. It’s a drug party.

No matter how long you play the guitar, there’s always something else to learn.

I always tell my kids, “Find something that you love and within that you’ll find some job that you can do and you’ll always be happy. You’ll go to a job that you want to go to.”

The poison came in liquid, she was naked all the time.

I remember things being more clearer, at one time things were more real.

I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health.

You belong among the wildflowers You belong in a boat out at sea You belong with your love on your arm You belong somewhere you feel free.

I’m not trying to be cool. I have a problem with lights. I have one eye that’s become super-sensitive to lighting, so I do wear sunglasses quite a bit.
