If you told me I was going to live to 240, I would take 10 years off and try and act. I don't have that kind of time, so I'd much rather stick to playing guitar.

I know the heart of life is good.
If you never stop when you wave goodbye you just might find, if you give it time, you will wave hello again...
Never, ever underestimate the power of 'Id Like that.
I'm the only person I know who's got a bunch of money.
