Quote

When you have to work with and exist amongst cynical, burned-out personnel on a set, it doesn't matter what you're shooting or how much you're being paid - it's not worth it.

Every summer, around late July and into August, I find myself in Europe, performing at any festival that will have me.

It took me until my teenage years to realize that I was medicating with music. I was pushing back against my stupid school uniform, instructors who called me by my last name and my classmates, who, while friendly enough, were not at all inspiring.

If some band sucks, you're going to have to find out about it for yourself, because I don't have the interest in issuing warnings.

When I am in Africa, I realize I don't know much, have not seen much, and there's a lot to be done.

Image
So I'm more at home with my backpack, sleeping in a hotel room or on a bus or on an airplane, than I am necessarily on a bed. It's weird being here. It feels like I'm standing next to my real life.

If I hear, 'Be afraid of Tehran,' I'm like, 'I'd better go to Tehran.'

Black Sabbath - one of the world's universal language of music. I felt proud, for three or four minutes of my life combining my voice with Tony Iommi's guitar sound.

Image
I do my best to limit the amount of compromise in my life so I have more time to do what I want. Not hanging out with many people really helps. I am not a people person and I spend a great deal of time on my own and in this environment, I get a lot done.

If there is one set of laws, one Constitution for every citizen, its protections hopefully applied equally to all, then why do the results seem to differ so radically? What do you call that? Look around - you're living in it.

Somewhere someone is thinking of you. Someone is calling you an angel. This person is using celestial colors to paint your image. Someone is making you into a vision so beautiful that it can only live in the mind.

Michele Bachmann is always a great person to go to for an opinion about anything. She has a very active and interesting mind.

For me, music was an age/time/place thing. One day I woke up and realized I was done. That was many years ago.

I'm a big Germs fan most people are.

It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.

This sounds really corny, but I am a slave to my work, a workaholic, and glad of it. I like what I do this is my place, my little universe, one of them.

There're some places that are more difficult or dangerous to navigate and I wouldn't look forward to going back. Like I'd much rather go back to Afghanistan - which fascinates me - quicker than I'd go back to spend a week walking around Nairobi, Kenya, which is a great and easy way to get yourself killed.

Everyone should have the right to go off and do their music or do their books. The people who are in the position to censor they're really not down to reality where that certain artists are coming from.

I don't really write for fun it's not an enjoyable experience. For me, art, or whatever the hell it is I do, has always been a refuge from that which makes me want to tear my lungs out. That's why I play like I play I'm not into entertainment.
