We just didn't give a f?-. We did things our way, and we had a hell of a good time doing it.
We had sort of Spinal Tap moment in Europe . . . when I caught on fire. Vince almost had to stop singing, he was laughing so hard.
We fit in there with all the dead movie stars.
Perfection is unattainable, so I like to live in imperfection.
The trouble with asking questions is you sometimes get answers you don't wanna hear.
Rock and Roll's got to be like Jack Daniels. You've got to feel it burn.
I am inspired by thinkers. I am inspired by rebellion. I am inspired by children. I have been inspired by love. I have been inspired by heartbreak. I try to take everything that comes at me in life. There have been times in my life that I didn't handle things... right. But even though you stumble, you still kind of get through it.
I've got so many mountains to climb and goals to conquer. I've got so many scars I want to leave on the planet. I just feel like I'm not there yet. I feel like I am just getting started.
Sometimes I think I should just buy a blow-up party doll. Same level of intelligence, plastic, and full of air. The problem is, I'd probably fall in love.

I can't make anybody happy, so I try my best to be good at what I do
Anybody I'm in a band with can do what they do better than me. I'm a huge believer that I can play bass or whatever I bring to the table - producing, songwriting, orchestrating - and I can look at the other guys and say, "He's got that, he's got this, and I have this." It's a team thing.
