Beyond the Thunder is the closest I've recorded to an acoustic thing.

I haven't stopped playing. If you play all the time, then your chops are up and you tend to grow.

We are taking close to $10 a CD the way we are doing it, and I think that is a fair amount to split up between five guys. Each of us makes like two bucks a record.

World Play is very '70s arena rock, very raw and in your face, and that's what we wanted. We recorded it in a very off-the-cuff manner and didn't really plan out how we were going to play. My solos are first takes.

We are doing what Prince did. Everyone that comes to a show billed as An Evening with Journey will get our new CD. We figured that is our best store because they are our biggest fans.

Beyond the Thunder is the closest I've recorded to an acoustic thing.

I've got the recording process down, and I can knock it out very quickly.

I keep on calling them records because they will always be records to me.

I never got into sports at all until I was in my early 20s, after my music career got going.

During the 1970s and 1980s Gibson did use my likeness, but we never signed anything. This new Signature model is the first time we struck a formal written deal for a guitar with my name on it.

The heavy guitars are the ones that sound good. They are not that comfortable, but they do sound great.

What I have is a bunch of really hungry, amazingly talented guys that can kick anybody's rear end.

Nobody's perfect. Everyone slides here and there, and they have their ups and downs. When they are down, that is not the time to step all over them.

I'm just getting older and better.

There has been the biggest black cloud following me around. People believe it's all my fault that Steve is not here. He has always had an open door, and he doesn't choose to do this any more.

In a lot of aspects it's cooler that we don't have a lot of really overly famous people in the band.

I am not a pop musician; I don't want to play bubble-gummy pop stuff.

The world now knows that Steve Perry is welcome to come and sing with us anytime he wants.

You learn at a certain point that you have to focus on the business side of music. After getting ripped off a couple of times, you figure out that you need to get a grip on it.

I've never done a solo tour. I feel like getting out there and doing that.

The best part was watching Journey grow into this monster. The band was huge, playing these enormous gigs.

When I go out with Journey, it is a complete cakewalk. I can afford my own bus.

I'm not a guy to go in the studio and spend months, let alone years, like some people do. I cannot even be in the studio for a month, it will drive me nuts.

I met the Santana band when I was 14. By the time I was 15, I was a member of the band.

The grand perhaps! We look on helplessly, there the old misgivings, crooked questions are.

Oh, the Irish were building the railroads down through Mexico, through Chihuahua. They finished the railroads when they finished out in the West Coast, and they went down and put the trains into Mexico.

Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?

We live in a culture that is much happier talking about organic brain disease than about psychic illness because the former suggests that something that is physically wrong in a brain is wholly unrelated to that person's upbringing or experiences in the world, but that is not necessarily true.

For the standard of Christian life was to be strained to a higher pitch; more fasting was required, and more careful separation from the manners and enjoyments of the world; celibacy and martyrdom had great value set upon them, and second marriages were prohibited.

If you treat people right they will treat you right... ninety percent of the time.

I'm a grandmother with dogs and nice friends here in the Rocky mountains. Ever see the movie A River Runs Through It? That's where I live. It's beautiful, no two ways about it.

Instead of pointing out the faults of others, look in the mirror, find your own faults and start to better yourself. That should keep you busy!

Tension is wonderful for making people laugh.

Never give in.. never never never never in nothing great or small large or petty never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force.. never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

I never really look for anything. What God throws my way comes. I wake up in the morning and whichever way God turns my feet, I go.

You can't get spoiled if you do your own ironing.

Germany is probably the richest country in Western Europe. Yet they wouldn't take any television with Duke and Ella, their reaction being that people weren't interested in it.

The American public is rightfully asking, 'Hey, all those funds are coming out of my pocket, so I want to know where they're going.'

Part of making TV is the process - you just have to churn it out.

I've stayed away from sexy roles. It's never interested me.

My wife and I, unlike many intellectuals, spent five years working on assembly lines. We came to fully understand the criticisms of the industrial age, in which you are an appendage of a machine that sets the pace.

You can never get enough of 'Jeopardy.'

You have to be comfortable in the uncomfortableness.

I think of Ray Harryhausen's work - I knew his name before I knew any actor or director's names. His films had an impact on me very early on, probably even more than Disney. I think that's what made me interested in animation: His work.

The only reason you are happy is because you choose to be happy. Happiness is a choice and so is suffering.

Go where you add value. Don't look for places where you're just like everybody else.

I feel very lucky because I get to work in so many different areas of fashion.

I always start everything with the weather, because the weather is the first thing that I notice when I wake up in the morning.
