I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument. I was writing about things when I was eight or 10 years old that I hadn't lived long enough to experience. That's why I also believe in reincarnation, that we were put here with ideas to pass around.
I believe in looseness.
Just because she's leaving, don't start believing, that your rock and roll days are gone.
I believe that all roads lead to the same place - and that is wherever all roads lead to.
I don’t believe in adhering to any rules I don’t support and I didn’t vote for. To hell with what people think. Just be who you are and you’ll be happy.
This song's been in the closet for 20 years.
I'd like to see this happen time and time again, thousands of times across the country.
I have a lot of respect for the military. I like to show them that I support them every chance I get. ... We get as much out of it as (the soldiers).

I think if we start out to make what we're trying to do work locally, using local farmers, local people, local control, not going outside and importing a lot of things - everything we need, grow it in the area and be self-sustaining - I think we can probably keep that from happening to a certain degree.
I think it's time we start looking seriously at alternative energies so we don't have to go around the world looking for oil,
I think this is a great thing that's happening. It's good for the country, it's good for Oklahoma, it's good for all of us.
It can't get much worse, 100 yards an hour, ... It's frustrating bumper-to-bumper.
