games
I love X-Games music.
song technology thinking
I think people should be able to have at their behest, like, four hours of music, entertainment, visual knowledge, different pathways[.] That's what I'm trying to do with modern technology, not just another song and another song.
records want sound
I know when I started I would have been happy to sound like the Beatles or Joe Tex or whoever. You want to sound like most bands, you want to sound like their records and that's how you learn your chops.
secret cruelty poetry-is
The secret of poetry is cruelty.
tattoo warrior artist
Tattoo. What a loaded word it is, rife with associations to goons, goofs, bikers, tribal warriors, carnival artists, drunken sailors and floozies.
war men people
War is big business. It's a lot of money going to and fro, and unfortunately a lot of angst, and a lot of fear, and a lot of doubt. And eventually a lot of wonderful people, like soldiers, like men and women that are out there trying to do the best they can, they come back being wounded on many levels.
optimistic thinking optimism
I think in life, you have a choice. You can either be optimistic or pessimistic, and I go for the optimism.
life-changing blessed wife
I nearly died three times in 2008, and when you go through those experiences, you realize that you're blessed every day that you wake up. My world changed, my life changed, and with the help of my wife Jane, I was able to survive.
rocks long band
Most managers in the rock n' roll world... don't care so much about who's in the band as long as it's making money.
want enough knows
Everybody wants to be American, it seems; I travel enough to know.
people want havens
Some people haven't got a life, I suppose. They want to be on the road all the time.
keys way reason-why
This life is for us to discover the divine within. And that's really the key to life in many ways for me. And the thing is, it's not for us to reason why everything is what it is... just do it.
fashion bored people
Fashion has changed, and it's continuing to change because, fundamentally, people get bored quicker.
thinking people not-good-enough
I think we all have the same spirituality deep inside and we grow to learn more about it all the time, and we try very hard to become better people as we grow. We search all the time for the truth. We learn more about the world and we can't have thoughts like, "We are better than them" or "They are not good enough for God". This is very bad way of thinking, you know?
