Dont take yourself too seriously. Take yourself as seriously as death itself. Dont worry. Worry your ass off. Have iron-clad confidence, but doubt. It keeps you alive and alert! Believe you are the baddest ass in town and [that] you suck! It keeps you honest. Be able to keep two completely contradictory ideas alive and well inside of your heart and head at all times. If it doesnt drive you crazy, it will make you strong. And when you walk on stage tonight to bring the noise, treat it like its all we have and then remember its only rock n roll.
