Dave Matthews

I think I'm probably a very sad man wrapped in a very joyful package, and I think I'm very resilient, and I think I'm quite generous, sometimes to a fault. And I'm very bad with money, but I don't see that too much of a flaw.

So often we talk about saving the planet, but what we really mean is to save the planet the way it is, so we can live here. So that is can sustain us. Because the planet doesn't need to be saved. It doesn't care if all the squirrels, elephants, and trees die and there's just a couple of amoebas floating around at the poles.

I want to figure out a way to not be stupid with money, then make a whole bunch of it, then I want to move to Outer Mongolia. I want to milk a yak. Maybe I'll just settle for a cow. Can you milk a bison?

When I look at how fortunate I've been, being a musician... my response to being overpaid is that I should pay it back to my community in some way.

I've always been obsessed by visual art as I have been by music personally, but that doesn't mean anything professionally.

Being able to scream at the top of my lungs in front of people is very therapeutic. It is a great gift for me to be able to do that.

Being a white South African, I enjoyed the better things that that country gave to a small percentage of its population.

I find a therapy in playing music, in many different ways.

My songs are like a three-legged dog - you have to get to know them to have any love for them.

I use God in my songs a lot but I don't have a relationship. I don't know what that means.
