The richness of the world, all artificial pleasures, have the taste of sickness and give off a smell of death in the face of certain spiritual possessions.
I love this pedal to death. The only way you could keep me from playing one is by chopping off my legs!
I was bullied. I was a bit of a geek. Good-looking guys were off-limits. I didn't start dating until I was 18.
We groove off of everything, any sort of live show. The inner dialogue you're having with yourself, between you and the music, is for me the search for God.
I just got off stage playing with Lynyrd Skynyrd a minute ago. It was a great show. Got to meet some incredible guests. This is the bee's knees.

The good news is that Jesus is coming back. The bad news is that he's really pissed off.
