All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean the heavy metal from the '70s sounds nothing like the stuff from the '80s and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the '90s. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?

The thing about my music is there really is no point.

I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.

The music of Hendrix wakes people up to their possibilities. It's more than just dreaming about being a guitar hero.

I sure saw a lot of kids that I'm sure didn't know a lot about us or we were definitely new to them. The kids who came up to me afterward we'd talk about music sign a lot of autographs. So I'm sure we made a lot of new fans.

I'm writing constantly about all my crazy experiences across the world so I have a lot of music I've already written.

For me music and life are all about style.

What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second.

There's something about music that encourages people to want to know more about the person that made it and where it was recorded what year it was done what they were listening to and all this kind of stuff. There's something that invites all this obsessive behavior.

You create a community with music not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.
