I think that we have to be very careful and get back into the loop, get back to nature. Get back to God and not let the technology send us somewhere that we're going to regret.
You can't even sing or play an instrument, so you just scream instead. You're living for an image, so you got five hundred women in your bed.
My life is perfect because I accept it as it is.
(On being asked if he preferred to be a rock god or sex god) I am neither. My favourite role is father.
I'm so happy. I am able to see the world just by making music, just by doing the thing that I loved doing when I was five years old.
I think it'd be a real nightmare to put a record out and sell 20 million copies and then that's it.
The loyalty rate isn't that high. I could have a big hit, then put out the next single, and they say, Oh yeah, who are you? Prove it again.
There's definitely an old school element to my music, but I also think it's modern.
Let's look at human interactions. I really believe that there is a way for us to settle disputes nonviolently, using our minds, using all of that was given to us.
My first guitar, a Fender Jazz Master, I traded it in for a Les Paul Deluxe.
I mean, look at the people we celebrate - a lot of people who really don't do anything. They just walk the red carpets and go to all the parties, and they're hooked up with the right people, so they're celebrities. But what for?
I wasn't the kind of person that liked waiting for autographs or following them, I just liked to go to the shows, study their records, driving many, many hours to different states to go to concerts.
Don't take it so seriously.
I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary.
