I'm not terribly happy about rock and roll. Certain rock music is uninspiring numbing it makes you feel like an idiot.

My message to anyone who's afraid that they can't write music when they're happy is 'Just trust the passion.' The passion can write a lot of things.

I get mad. I get sad. I have all those emotions. But I just like to keep them to myself. I don't think my fans need to be bothered with if I'm mad or sad about something. I should just be concerned that they are keeping up with my music or I'm making them happy with my show.

What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music.

I've never missed a gig yet. Music makes people happy and that's why I go on doing it - I like to see everybody smile.

I will be really happy once I have done my jail time. I can start fresh.

I'm happy with my place in the firmament here. I like to produce movies and that's where I want to be.

Do you know what a blessing it is to make movies that make people happy?

It's time for me to do things I like so I will be happy my wife will be happy my friends will be happy. I just want to do something I'm proud of. It's time for me to change. I could sign with a company for 10 movies and I'm the king of video and so what?

I'm always happy when I hear about people selling records or selling books or selling movies. It makes me proud of them.
