We've just learned how to balance ourselves a little better so that we're happier way more of the time than not, and, you know, being happy is a radical and desirable act if you ask me.

Sometimes life's so much cooler when you just don't know any better and all the painful lessons have not hammered your head open yet.

Also, we're all actually different blood types and we have one represented by each guy in the band.

You know I love pot, and I love beer, but I am totally sober, just because it completely stopped working for me.

I would consider him definitely one of my very best friends and I know he feels the same about me. We have a lot of love and respect.

But then when he left, I realized that it was harder to write songs and feel spiritually connected to art and music as a band. When he came back I felt it again, instantaneously.

I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction.

It seems like the chaos of this world is accelerating, but so is the beauty in the consciousness of more and more people.

As a father now, I wouldn't do what my dad did, because it left me feeling emotionally unstable as a kid. But he didn't do the things he did out of selfishness or malice.

I discovered surfing, which I absolutely fell in love with. That feels good and kind of keeps your body aligned, so does the salt water.

I don't even know what words to use to talk about the music industry anymore. But the business has changed a lot - the methods of releasing music.

I find it hard to meet the right woman as people assume I'm a certain type of person - which I'm not.

I inherited my father's insatiable desire to meet all the beautiful girls in the world.

I like the idea of defying the convention of what it is to be in your 40s, or 50s, or 60s.

I never really thought in terms of the concept of being a rock star - being around people like that just seemed like normal day-in-the-life stuff to me. Those were just the surroundings I grew up in.

I was a little self-centered gutter punk in the early 1980s and all I wanted to do was diss everybody.

I would have to say the person with whom I am most in love is definitely my son, Everly Bear. Although I'm his dad, I'm also his friend.

I'm not a true vegan.

I'm probably not long-term-relationship material for now.

If you want to get along with somebody, let them be right, and it will last longer.

My days are whatever I want them to be.

Personally, I am stuck with one foot in the past and one foot in the present.

The fact my relationship with my son is so good makes me forgiving of my father and also appreciative.

Well, I get excited about music.

What I've realized over the years is that I have some pretty good friends.

What doesn't kill you only makes your book longer.

would consider him definitely one of my very best friends and I know he feels the same about me. We have a lot of love and respect.

A rock star does not age!

It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there. It's hard to believe that I'm all alone. At least I have her love, the city she loves me. Lonely as I am, together we cry.

By Rice's own standards, the war was well underway by the time he took office. He was a war president the moment he took the oath. But did he act like one?

Under current law volunteers who are not working with an official nonprofit organization are not covered by the Volunteer Protection Act. Therefore, there are absolutely no legal protections for the average American who wishes to volunteer.

Commas in The New Yorker fall with the precision of knives in a circus act, outlining the victim.

I still feel that a movie has to attempt to say something - even if it fails miserably. But I've sort of given up on believing that I'm going to change the world with every film I choose to act in.

I knew I wanted to act, and I was really driven, so I kept going for it. We moved to L.A. full-time when I was 8 or 9.

Maybe I can't act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what's good for me.

I've done a lot of acting. I'm not saying I'm the greatest, but I'd love to act, I'd love to sing.

P.C. is just too Big Brother - telling me how I should act and feel.

Act well your part, there all the honour lies.

I'm a 7 o'clock act. My people want to go to a show, a dinner and then go home and go to bed.

For me, romance isn't an over-the-top act. It's someone offering to help and to support me. Or if that person thinks I'm making the wrong decision, he'll tell me. I want him to be honest, because being that honest takes a lot of guts.

I want more children but for the next three years I want to act.

I have to say that it's very few countries that are willing to look back at its past and apologize for its act, or make amends for its act, as the United States had one.

I think unleashing 3,000 smart bombs against the city of Baghdad in the first several days of the war... to me, if those were unleashed against the San Francisco Bay Area, I would call that an act of extreme terrorism.

I cannot sing, dance or act; what else would I be but a talk show host.

My kids act all the time and it's exactly what I used to do.
