The thing I love about acting is that it's got nothing to do with me; it's about bringing forth a director's vision. It's like a release. I'm glad it's come back into my life.
I wanted to make something that sounded very pure, organic, and personal. I wanted to make music that was timeless.
The image is an image.
I wouldn't play together with someone who likes to control everything like me.
Jimi Hendrix was just so fluid. His hands were connected to his soul, you know? His playing was just so emotional. You could feel the fire, you could feel the blues. You could feel the sadness. It's unbelievable.
I think that we have to be very careful and get back into the loop, get back to nature. Get back to God and not let the technology send us somewhere that we're going to regret.
You can't even sing or play an instrument, so you just scream instead. You're living for an image, so you got five hundred women in your bed.
My life is perfect because I accept it as it is.
(On being asked if he preferred to be a rock god or sex god) I am neither. My favourite role is father.
I'm so happy. I am able to see the world just by making music, just by doing the thing that I loved doing when I was five years old.
I think it'd be a real nightmare to put a record out and sell 20 million copies and then that's it.
The loyalty rate isn't that high. I could have a big hit, then put out the next single, and they say, Oh yeah, who are you? Prove it again.
There's definitely an old school element to my music, but I also think it's modern.
Let's look at human interactions. I really believe that there is a way for us to settle disputes nonviolently, using our minds, using all of that was given to us.
