Certainly anyone whom I've witnessed who has gone through something horrible and life-changing has a sense of ironic humor or an ability to look at the peculiarities of the world and find humor in it.

It has always surprised me how little attention philosophers have paid to humor since it is a more significant process of mind than reason. Reason can only sort out perceptions but the humor process is involved in changing them.

I just moved into a new house so I love spending time at home. Everything for me is all about self-care because I really feel that if I'm at my best than I'm able to come to my job and really be feeling the best so if I'm not working out or going on a hike than I'm at home recharging and cooking dinner and hanging out with my cat.

When I get old I'm going to the old folks' home. I don't want to be one of those guys who's hanging around the house bothering the kids. But not just any old folks' home. I want the whole top floor.

I try to devote my afternoons to making music in my home studio but it's a lot more fun hanging out with musicians and friends and trying subtly to influence a band than making your own stuff.

History is always changing.

The current state of knowledge is a moment in history changing just as rapidly as the state of knowledge in the past has ever changed and in many instances more rapidly.

I had a go at changing history - maybe not all by myself - I fought at the battle of Normandy I slogged through the Ardennes and I celebrated the liberation of Paris on the streets with beautiful French girls throwing flowers at me. I said good-bye to my first true love and discovered what I really wanted to do with my life.

Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.

If our history can challenge the next wave of musicians to keep moving and changing to keep spiritually hungry and horny that's what it's all about.
