I feel like guitar explains a lot. You can just listen to a guitar without any lyrics over it; you can just feel what kind of track it is. If it's pain... you can feel it. It sets the mood.
The intellect is a cold thing and a merely intellectual idea will never stimulate thought in the same manner that a spiritual idea does.
The opposite of love is not hate. It is fear.
There is always some madness in love.
Grief is the price we pay for love.
You achieve stature only by being good enough to deserve it, by forcing even the contemptuous and indifferent to pay attention, and to acknowledge that human relations and human emotions are of inexhaustible interest wherever they occur.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.
I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few.
Fear is stronger than love
Sex is emotion in motion.
Love, having no geography, knows no boundaries.
Admiration is the emotion furthest from understanding. ~Sosuke Aizen
Fear has no brains; it is an idiot. The dismal witness that it bears and the cowardly counsel that it whispers are unrelated.
We love music, and when it's good we flip. And we want to get to the core of why it's good.
Indifference is the strongest force in the universe. It makes everything it touches meaningless. Love and hate don't stand a chance against it.
You employ stone, wood and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces. That is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good, I am happy and I say: This is beautiful. That is Architecture. Art enters in.
Love doesn't need reason. It speaks from the irrational wisdom of the heart.
We've got paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technologies.
Love is an incredibly strong thing, it goes everywhere, it's like water, you can't stop it. Love, once you have it, once you create a kind of pathway for it to come out, it just keeps on coming out.
Death: the only true emotion felt in an apathetic world
Poetry is not a matter of feelings, it is a matter of language. It is language which creates feelings.
Nothing hath an uglier Look to us than Reason, when it is not of our side.

Music seems hard-wired into our very being. It moves us, stirs us to action, sets us in motion, sticks in our memories and minds.
I would say that I'm more moved by melody, even though I love to rap.
I think the live show is a different kind of catharsis. It's an event. It's supposed to be entertaining. To keep myself entertained, I like to play a rock n' roll show. I still kind of feel like I'm a rock n' roll musician anyway.
