I'm not joking around when I've said occasionally, trying to learn how to play a D chord properly has been a very big thing for me.

I am nobody but myself.

There are few things in the world as dangerous as sleepwalkers.

I am not ashamed of my grandparents for having been slaves. I am only ashamed of myself for having at one time being ashamed.

Without the possibility of action, all knowledge comes to one labeled 'file and forget.'

I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer.

The world is a possibility if only you'll discover it.

When I discover who I am, I'll be free.

Education is all a matter of building bridges.

It takes a deep commitment to change and an even deeper commitment to grow.

I like mindless disco... they say the lyrics are stupid and repetitious. So what's wrong with that? So is lying in the sun. Not everything has to be serious.

How can anybody learn anything from an artwork when the piece of art only reflects the vanity of the artist and not reality?

I always believed that I have something important to say and I said it.

And no kinds of love are better than others

The most important part of my religion is to play guitar.

I'll tell ya, I'm a genuinely nice guy. I really am. A real nice guy. But I think I'm temperamental.

I think it's important that people don't feel alone.

Research, research, research. It means everything.

It's depressing when you're still around and your albums are out of print.
