There are lots of things that I'm always pulling inspiration from.
I think I might get laid more...by my dad.
Maybe I do wanna become a woman, so what is the crime in that?
I will eat anything Mexican - a sombrero, hacienda... anything. Theyve perfected the combo of bread items and the grill.
Every day, I read books on philosophy and science fiction and human consciousness.
Spending so much time on the road, I get to fart all the time. Then when it's, like, Thanksgiving dinner and I'm sitting with my grandmother, I can't fart for, like, two hours.
I used to drink a lot of beer, but I was just getting fat as can be. Now that we've had a little success, I can afford to drink wine.
I believe that working independently will give artists the ability to communicate the full extent of their art and not just a piece of it that might sell.
'Love' has that Kubrick tonality to it, but this is not a Stanley Kubrick movie - there will never be another. At the same time, 'Love' has a modern feel. For example: In one scene, these astronauts go through a wormhole sequence, and you feel like you're being slapped around inside your head by a sonic boom.
I think there are a lot of different things that dreams do for the individual and they're fascinating because it's not totally known what they do, but we have some science that is opening the door to a new world as we speak.
I'm a huge stadium rock fan, but I'm also a fan of everything from Massive Attack to Peter Gabriel, U2, the Police, Radiohead, and Coldplay.
I've realized that I love all forms of music and get excited when any artist goes crazy and creates something that is an experience.
Angels and Airwaves is a complete, pure reflection of who I am. The philosophy, the spiritualism, the esotericism, the idea of hope and space and the themes about life and grandeur that's all me.
Everyone I talk to says stuff like, 'Music sucks today,' and I'm going to try and change all that.
I have to make music. If I don't do it, I go crazy.
But those guys (on 'Idol') will never be known for defining a generation of young suburbanites like (blink) did.
People are different when they're 30 than they are when they're 16.
I used to get so jealous if my wife liked another band more than my own. Come to think of it, I still do.
So many artists today will talk about green this or organic that, but you know what? What we are eating, I think, is really doing a lot of bad to us. I'm not sure if I'm the guy to do it right now, because I have to clean up my house too, so to speak, but we've got to start addressing this. Too many people are getting sick today.
All the selling out talk is really overrated, the funny thing is it hardly ever comes from bands, it comes from some kid who thinks they're so punk because they have a purple mohawk
The Angels shows are really intense. We play for a couple hours at a time. They're very theatrical and full of audience interaction and emotion. I've seen a lot of people crying and stuff. It's a little bit like church, but it's very secular.
If artists slowly learn how their business works, they'll have the ability to grow at any rate they can dream up, but they'll also have the ability to control the message whatever that might be.
I don't believe that I'm better than anybody, but I do believe that I'll try harder than most and I hope that people just join me for a little bit of a ride.
When you work with a major label they create their own message for you and a lot of the time that works great, or at least it did back in the 90's but now it doesn't work, so I think as an artist if you learn your own business, like anybody would when they want to start a little restaurant - they'd figure it out and then build it and they work hard - then it could be your own little business that you grew to as big as you want it to be but you had much more control with how to communicate it and how it's cared for.
Geometric shapes hold an energy pattern, and scientists did some experiments which say certain geometric shapes can affect matter around them. It's simply because when a human looks at a shape, they instantly receive energy from their brain.
