Do what you like and do it honestly.
The only reason in the world that I bought a computer was to look up UFO sites.
When there are no lyrics there are many parts of the imagination that can fill in the meanings of the music, so I strongly believe that it can be more powerful at times.
I'm a huge stadium rock fan, but I'm also a fan of everything from Massive Attack to Peter Gabriel, U2, the Police, Radiohead, and Coldplay.
I always want to do different things. I'm always obsessed with trying to do different things.
If artists slowly learn how their business works, they'll have the ability to grow at any rate they can dream up, but they'll also have the ability to control the message whatever that might be.
Spending so much time on the road, I get to fart all the time. Then when it's, like, Thanksgiving dinner and I'm sitting with my grandmother, I can't fart for, like, two hours.
In ten years I will become president of the United States Of America.

Most bands, if something goes wrong, they cower and walk off stage and fire people.
Everyone I talk to says stuff like, 'Music sucks today,' and I'm going to try and change all that.
The compass represents spirituality, no end and no beginning....the ruler represents 'tangible evidence' ... a measurable event... both coming together shall represent a Human Being...the intersection of life and consciousness...
It's actually cool to be positive and optimistic and idealistic. It's cool to see yourself doing beautiful, great things.
There are possibilities that dreams are our little windows upon a parallel timeline.
