I didn't get to see Predator until halfway through shooting. It was great to get an education while I was shooting because it made me excited to be part of this legacy.
My concern for education in New Mexico has always been there. I'm one of those kids that struggled through school, and I feel like I fell through the cracks.
There are five issues that make a fist of a hand that can knock America out cold. They're lack of jobs, obesity, diabetes, homelessness, and lack of good education.
I believed in studying just because I knew education was a privilege. It was the discipline of study, to get into the habit of doing something that you don't want to do.
Those who kept their sanity and humanity intact in the face of awful adversity. Heroes named and unnamed, some known only to God.
Sometimes when, you know, God tries to correct you in private and if you don't catch it he'll correct you in public.
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 felt I had an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of great soul musicians of the past, who made a lot of social and political commentary through their music.
Music critics think of lyrics first and don't consider melody but so many songs are lyrically depressing but musically great, and that's why they become classics.
Berlin would be a great place to have no cell phone, I think. Especially if you were able to live in a central location.
I've learned a lot of tricks from working with a lot of great producers over the years, and I think I should write a book about it!
It's always great playing with other musicians. It's also a great situation where I'm the older guy, I've influenced generations of guitar players.
I gained a great deal from the period during which I worked in theater and I value those things a great deal.
I never thought getting older would be so great. But when it comes to depression, I have experienced less the older I've gotten.
'Danity Kane' was a wonderful group, and like all things, nothing is forever. We had a great run and we were very successful.
Every day there is something new you are working on. It is a challenge every day and that is what makes this game so great.
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 advice I have for new artists is this - write great songs and play them live as often as possible. Get residencies all over town and crush it.
How do I explain Neil Young? Great question! I explain Neil Young as, I would kill to see his acoustic shows.
It is great to have your own label; you can cultivate your own artists... I've worked with pretty much everyone I wanted to.
Rock 'n' roll is ridiculous. It's absurd. In the past, U2 was trying to duck that. Now we're wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.
