I find you get out of people what you put into them.

I love being in a band.

So what are we given? We're also given, my generation, the disillusionment of our parents.

What's great about music is it takes so many kinds of people, including me. Everybody is in a different place.

I tend to eat what I want, which probably isn't good.

I'm not a wild and crazy person.

I love playing big rooms. There's nothing like it. It's a power trip.

I find you get out of people what you put into them.

If I'm a phenomenon, it makes me feel like I have no purpose.

I have a sneaking suspicion that all religions lead to the same place, a very unified place.

Writing is a really good first step toward that goal of knowing yourself.

On my own I generally have very messy hair, wear jeans and sneakers.

The writers I respect the most had an undying commitment to a vision.

Most of us don't spend any time knowing ourselves. We just keep reacting.

I don't exist without writing.

I would always encourage people of any age not to be so quick to follow other people's truths but to search and follow your own moral code and live by your own integrity, and mostly just be brave.

I'm not a partygoer.

I grew up doing live tours and playing in bars, so it was what I love to do.

You have a different crowd every night, so you should do a different show to suit them. I tailor the show to their mood.

I never found much comfort in overly organized religion of any sort.

The show is different every night, because I never write a setlist.

I'm fairly specific about what I like to wear and looks are important to me, just like they are to everybody.

I don't see the world unless I see it in ink.

I've been performing on stage since I was six years old.

Love bravely, live bravely, be courageous, there's really nothing to lose. There's no wrong you can't make right again, so be kinder to yourself, you know, have fun, take chances. There's no bounds.

I think when kids just see well-crafted poetry, it's just obtuse to them. It's hard to relate to.

The things you fear are undefeatable not by their nature but by your approach.

Support for shelters and transitional living and housing programs is necessary if we are going to change the landscape for homeless boys and girls in America.

What I know about street outreach is that it is essential to dealing with the issue of youth homelessness.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I hate wasting people's time.

Religions get lost as people do.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there.

My theory is if you have a religion, it's a good one. Because some people don't have any at all.

It's sometimes shocking to find out what people really believe in.

That's Tommy, this great producer who comes in contact with people and must have a mental library of personnel who are great for this and great for that, and he brought this whole group of musicians to the project that I'd never worked with before.
