Quote

If religion had a good purpose, then man would have created something great. But we're man: we mess up everything. We mess up nature. We mess up God. We take what is given to us and make it into what we think it should be.

Today, music is great for entertainment, but it is lacking soul it's lacking substance, and it's difficult to find good stuff. There are too many corporate interests. It's not about the actual music because it's about the corporation, and music just becomes part of a package.

My father, we bumped heads when I was younger, much younger... I had different ideas that I shared with him. He didn't like them as much. He gets upset or whatever. I guess I had a strong opinion from when I was a little boy.

The last thing my father told me was: 'On your way up, take me up. On your way down, don't let me down.' A father telling his son that puts some responsibility on my shoulders. He told me that, and I take it very seriously.

Religion has become so many different things. Religion is an economic thing for some people. Religion is a gun.

It don't last forever, the pain. Realize that tomorrow is coming. Move further from this pain and this stress.

I prefer the country life. I live in Kingston, but there is lots of trees.

I think my type of personality has all music inside of it, so I am full of music, without even knowing it, without even learning it, without even hearing it.
