Whatever I will become will be what God has chosen for me.

This is the time it all starts, I’m telling you. Like, 16, I mean, forget it. You could just get beat up, you could go through these grueling schedules.

We had all remained good friends, but musically Hillel felt he was growing in their direction and they were having more success than What Is This.

I went for an outrageous form of expressing myself. It seemed to be a way that I could make my name and show that I was somebody.

The idea to do the album only on keyboards kind of happened by accident. I was quite happy with the sound and felt it really didn’t need more instruments, so I didn’t use them.

Having ten melodies was also a huge challenge, because I usually have three – sometimes just one or two, but often three that I’m using.

You have to write a good score that you feel good about. At least, you’re supposed to. But, if the director hates it, it ain’t going to be in the movie!

Darrell is really good in the studio. I mean, he has a real working knowledge of how the process works, and what sounds good coming back over tape, and how the stuff works together.

I believe in education and wish I had a better one.

As far as we’re concerned, if we’re not obviously working, you can bet that we’re somewhere underground working because we never stop.

I feel very honored to be playing with Bill Pierce. He’s such a great musician.

My webmaster lives in Munich and is a very dear friend of mine. He is doing a great job on the site and it is constantly being updated and always will.

At first it was a bit daunting, but once I started to do it, the more I got into it, the more I started enjoying it and being able to say things lyrically that I...

And then, when I started to school, I found out I couldn’t talk.

George Reeves was really Superman in my eyes. For him to come on the set and be there was a treat for me.

I also learned to be more confident, to trust my instincts more.

You know, I was never totally thrilled with being a Fleetwood Mac member, but surprisingly, I was having such a good time reuniting with John, Mick, and Stevie.

Directly after the show people might have responded better to it, but who really knows. It did what it did and while it seems like a failure to most but it was a success for...

I’m so close to Heaven, this Hell cannot be mine.

I would never do anything just for spite.

I’ve learned from dieting and not dieting that literally the thing that works best for me is that if I think of it, I better go ahead and have it.

What basically happens is your hormones get out of whack. Because of the stress in your life your body says, ‘I need more hormones.’ So, your hormones are trying to produce and produce and produce,...

The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.

For every prohibition you create you also create an underground.

Then as I got older, I always gravitated towards the hard stuff, Born To Be Wild, then Black Sabbath.

Jazz is a very democratic musical form. It comes out of a communal experience. We take our respective instruments and collectively create a thing of beauty.

I mean, when it’s time to rhyme rhyme, I can get down for mine.

My identity has everything to do with me and my instrument. It doesn’t have to do with what production style I use, or how many people played on it, whether it’s sparse or grandiose or...

I think everything Joni Mitchell did for music was big.

I’ve looked at photographs of myself during concerts and it sometimes looks as if I’m in a fencing move, with a guitar in my hands instead of a sword.

I’ve also become much more the musician I’ve always wanted to be.

The writers I respect the most had an undying commitment to a vision.

If it wasn’t for music, I doubt whether we’d be friends.

Control over the use of one’s ideas really constitutes control over other people’s lives; and it is usually used to make their lives more difficult.

We started this band as kids, and as time has gone on, we’ve grown and are learning to accommodate each others’ differences.

My dad wanted me to play when I was a kid, so I learned to play the guitar. I pursued a career in music because I love it so much and I enjoy what it...

Words are not even within me. They’re not in my vocabulary to really express the kind of feeling that I had.

We may need to change the way we think. As in Israel, I think there should be a mandatory draft, where you go away for the service of your country for three years.

I need to go someplace faraway that doesn’t have telephones and doesn’t have a record player and doesn’t have movie theaters and people walking down the street in order to not do anything.

I can only say that whatever my life and work have been, I’m not envious of anyone-and this is my biggest satisfaction.

Reading music is something that’s inherently hateful to me. It makes music like mathematics.

It’s a struggle for every young Black man. You know how it is, only God can judge us.

I lived that life for real, so to talk about it was like a joke, you know what I mean?

I have a bunch of stuff written that we haven’t used, but I haven’t sat down and really focused on what to put toward the album.

In the last two years I made more progress than in the first nine years training. Now I know how to eat, how to train, how to sleep.

Again, I say I will be glad to tell what songs I have ever sung, because singing is my business.

At this point in my career, I’m not interested in making people rich, like publishers and writers and producers. I’ve done enough of that.

I’ve lost some friends. A lot of the girls.

We’re in an illusion about what our role is in world politics and foreign affairs, and our policies are killing and destroying and doing a lot of things that we are not aware of.

I’m afraid I talk a lot, too much, perhaps. I should have been a lawyer or a college professor or a windy politician, though I’m glad I am not any of these.
