I was all caught up with identifying with certain things. They just weren't very stimulating things.

My memory is not even what most people's is, much less what it oughta be for a discussion like this.

Country music isn't a guitar, it isn't a banjo, it isn't a melody, it isn't a lyric. It's a feeling.

So I'm not very popular here with those inside the system, as you might guess. I never wanted to be.

Without art, without communicating, we wouldn't live beyond 30 because we'd be so sad and depressed.

You can't plan everything - if I did a performance exactly how I rehearsed it, it would be so boring.

Yoga takes what you have and molds and sculpts it, which is a much more natural way to look and feel.

I'm just getting used to all the interviews and promo things, I'm slowly learning. It's very strange.

While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave, I have other uses for you, darling. I love the dead.

Please clean your plate dear, the Lord above can see ya. Don't you know people are starving in Korea.

I have never truly applied myself. Lots of things have come too easily to me and at too high a level.

Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.

Some people reckoned that I looked healthier when I was bigger but I had terrible skin and no energy.

All the songs I write are about human dynamics, whether it's with girlfriends, boyfriends, or family.

There was never a time when I wasn't making guitars out of cardboard or dressing up like the Misfits.

If everybody can be happy with what they achieve with their life, this world would be a better place.

It is definitely somewhat a crutch of feeling that you have to please others in order to be accepted.

My favorite thing about L.A. is the sunny breezes that mimic the mindset of the energy in the people.

The stronger I am in my personal life, the more energy I have to look outward, to address my society.

No one's gonna sympathize when we crash, they'll say you hit what you head for, you get what you ask.

There are so many things that we have to be very concerned about. But I always come back to feminism.

You have to be quite grounded, and I don't know what that is. Sometimes, that means being vulnerable.

The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.

I find it hard to meet the right woman as people assume I'm a certain type of person - which I'm not.

When I was 3, my mom sent in a video of me singing George Strait to 'America's Funniest Home Videos.'

I was eating bad stuff. Lots of sugar and carbs, junk food all the time. It makes you very irritated.

We have a saying in Guns N' Roses: 'When somebody's gonna get yelled at, they're gonna get the corn.'

It's a big thing in my music to highlight being human - being emotional and powerful, like a goddess.

I was horribly depressed, and I felt like I had failed as a band leader, a professional, as a person.

I believe I owe all the best parts of my adulthood to embracing my imperfections and showcasing them.

All this fashion stuff - who's cool now - is just a bigger version of the cool kids versus the nerds.

I'm like cheddar: Yes, other cheeses are more ooh la la, but I'm strong, mature, and oh so delicious.

I can take care of a house, and some people I meet, I think, 'You don't even know how to make a bed.'

There's not only emotion in the way you sing but also in what you sing. That way I can compensate it.

Therapy is like telling your nightmares when you're a kid; they lose their power to hurt and control.

You have to think you're the greatest thing since sliced bread, but you have to know that you're not.

Melbourne is the kind of town that really makes you consider the question 'Is there life after death?

There comes a time whenyou haveto let yourclothesgo out in the world and try to make it on their own.

If you’re really in love, you don’t care about all the other girls that are standing in line for you.

I want my true love, because I don't have so much time, and I wanna spend my time with the right girl

I want true love, because I don't have so much time, and I want to spend my time with the right girl.

That's what I'm about -- getting engaged. Too many people don't wade in the mud with the politicians.

I would like to teach music. It's weird the way they teach music in schools like Julliard these days.

As a guitar player, it's harder for me to impress somebody than it is to write a song that they like.

Paul Simon is my absolute hero. He's one of a kind. He wrote his own ticket in life by being himself.

In every victory, Let it be said of me...My source of strength, My source of hope... Is Christ alone.

I would hope somebody out there will still want to hear a Backstreet Boys song when I'm 50-something.

If your music is great, you will have fans, not because you have spent time chatting on social media.

If I can convince others that there is a God and that they need to know Him, then I have done my job.

I autograph a lot of body parts of intoxicated people. And lots of shoes. And I signed a diaper once!
