“A man with a dream of pleasure can go forth and conquer a crowd and three. With a new song's measure can trample a kingdom down.”

“There are alway going to be bad things. But you can write it down and make a song out of it.”

“Dreams can change histories and songs can alter destinies.”

“I wanted to offer a supreme model to the man who struggles; I wanted to show him that he must not fear pain, temptation or death — because all three can be conquered, all three have already been conquered.”

“I write all my own songs and they are just simple melodies with a lot of lyrics. They usually have to do with current events and what is going on in the news. You can call them topical songs, songs about the news, and then developing into more philosophical songs later.”

“This is a song about the reason we all came down here today, and that's because we (expletive) love music. This is a crowd-surfing song.”

“The kingdom of God, like any other kingdom, cannot be within a man; it is something within which a man can live.”

“Christ called an army up to go forth and conquer in his name. In the book of Acts we are told of the Christians that these people are turning the world upside down. It would be wonderful if that were said of us again.”

“A crowd of ordinary decent folk
Watched from without and neither moved nor spoke
As three pale figures were led forth and bound
To three posts driven upright in the ground.”

“Roger: It’s totally cool you know. We go out there and put our best foot forward and we play songs we’ve played before, and that feels like we know what’s going to happen. The crowd is going to react to it or they’re not going to react to it. If we went out there and played all new songs it would be lame.”
