My verses stand gawping a bit. I never get used to this. They've lived here long enough.

Go now, verses, on your light feet, you have not trodden hard on the old earth where the graves laugh when they see their guests, the one corpse stacked on top of the other. Go now and stagger to her whom I do not know.

In spring they lie flat at the first warmth, they ruin my summer and in autumn they smell of women.

My verses stand gawping a bit. I never get used to this. They've lived here long enough.

I don't envy men and I certainly wouldn't like to become one now.

While it is true that we must seek value added industries like food processing plants and call center operations, we must do what is necessary to expand and develop our economic profile.

I was bartending when I recorded 'Same Love,' and when it was on the radio, too. I remember overhearing people talking about the song while I was making them drinks.

It can even be a single note which defines the entire song.

The best thing going for us is Al Gore. I cannot conceive how the American people could elect him. On the other hand, I couldn't conceive how they could elect a Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton - especially Clinton in '96.

I am not in the entertainment business; I am in the justice business.

I don't specifically sit down to write a Motley Crue song, so for me, that's how it works. The things that sound like they might be Crue, I put aside on my hard drive and keep them in that pile.

Working with a bunch of actors is like trying to tune each violin.

I'm obsessed with great white sharks. And I want to dive into the coral of the Great Barrier Reef.

What holds most people back isn’t the quality of their ideas, but their lack of faith in themselves. You have to live your life as if you are already where you want to be.

I only change things where I know about a situation. I'd never change just for change.

I never ran my train off the track, and I never lost a passenger.

I studied political science and international relations, so I never considered myself an artist.

I took a Fear of Flying class, and I always missed the class, because I was always flying.

In order to make any kind of living, you cannot afford to say no. If anything comes up, you've got to take it; you've got to grab it with both hands because security is really not there.

If I'm playing in the morning, I'll get some carbs early: porridge with chopped banana. If I'm playing in the afternoon, I'll start with less carbs and have some eggs and fruit for breakfast, then a light lunch about 90 minutes before I play, so I don't feel sluggish or full.

Your experiences will be yours alone. But truth and best friendship will rarely if ever disappoint you.
