"Now I just want to fly home between shows. I just like it: pruning trees, straightening lawn chairs and shit. And camera phones have made the world difficult to live in. I'm approachable and always up to take pictures, but it gets old.... You know, when I started, I liked Big Macs and Budweiser and I still like Big Macs and Budweiser.... If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it looks good, you'll see it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real... you'll feel it.... I always looked up to so many people before me and was lucky to become such good friends with them. I learned so much hanging out with those cats.... Surround yourself with good people. Whether they're the best or not, people are capable of learning if they've got good hearts and they're good souls."
— Kid Rock (I've been reading a bit about Kid Rock lately and it's interesting; he seems generous, genuine, refreshingly honest)

"To converse with Dwayne Johnson is to be immersed in the positive, a symphony of up notes. It is also to be flattered with questions." — Men's Journal magazine
"The core of Dwayne (Johnson) is his relentless drive, and that has never wavered... and his ability to be very coachable. He has no vulnerability in that way. Other people ask how was it, and they want to be told, you were great! He'll say no, really, let's break it down."
— Dany Garcia, Johnson's ex-wife and current business partner

— Steve Carell on Dwayne Johnson
"At first I had to fight to be taken seriously in Hollywood. I understood I would have to do that."

It's like, Thank you... I think."
— Barbara and Jenna Bush, former 'first daughters'

"I grew up in America, a martial culture. We are Spartans, not Athenians. Jocks get trophies; nerds get wedgies. Our public spaces are named after generals, not scientists or composers. We love stories about people facing danger and fighting evil back-to-back, risking their lives and saving each other for a good cause. All this despite the fact that we're mostly a nation of shoppers. While our fighting's done for us by professionals, we participate in war the way couchbound sports fans do in the game.... The most truthful writers on the subject admit that war is both terrible and beautiful, calling forth not only brutality but the finest humanity - valor, loyalty, self-sacrifice, and kindness. 'Under fire, Animal Mother is one of the finest human beings in the world,' one soldier says of another in Full Metal Jacket: 'All he needs is someone to throw hand grenades at him the rest of his life.' ... (And regarding the politics of war) Michael Herr writes about the grunts' political views on Vietnam, for example, 'We all had roughly the same position on the war: We were in it, and that was a position.'"
— Tim Kreider, Men's Journal

"(Upon returning home to Hawaii after a trip or a show), the first thing I do - even before I walk into the house - is spend a half hour checking out my garden. I grow taro, spinach, kale, eggplants, peppers, and a lot of different herbs.... When we're recording, the band can pull plants and make a salad."
— Jack Johnson
