I'm not a super blues player, but I was exposed to the Texas blues sound while I was growing up, and that definitely rubbed off on me.

We still get those kind of cats coming out to our shows. Once you're into it, you're into it for a lifetime.

Most bands don't make it past two albums and tours, if that. We pulled it off, and everybody's been happy and cool, but we got to the point where we knew it was time to take a break.

Towards the end with Pantera - although I was never unhappy with the music we were making - it became one-dimensional, and we wanted to open things back up.

We have every resource necessary to provide access to education for every child on the planet; we just need to commit to enabling it.

Education is not an end to itself. You need to know algebra but also how to navigate the world.

I've seen people with a tremendous amount of educational background in the field not turn out to be terribly good actors, and I've seen people with no education in the field turn out to be people that I admire quite a bit.

I have lots of gaps in my education, and so I'm often picking up classic books that most people read years ago.
