Whenever someone says, 'We're all one,' I've always been like 'No we're not, and that's what's great, so stop saying that or everyone's gonna start believing you.' But yeah, as we all look at the same projection on the wall, we do become one, and I started to realize the horror of that. And I make no attempt to try to alter it from being that; my thing is more about trying to apply some principles of magic-how to walk between the raindrops-and take advantage of a situation like that, because it's the only choice you have.

And the fact of the matter is that everyone should play music because it's such a beautiful gift. It's my religion. But maybe not everyone should play it in front of me. It's okay to play music in your rocking chair or whatever. View quote

New Zealand interviewer: What's it like for you guys, has it been "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll", that stuff? Josh: Six drugs? There's been more than that!

[Laughter continues] Josh: I wake up in the middle of stuff, sometimes. 'Cause of my condition, y'know. New Zealand interviewer: Which is? Josh: I'm a badass. View quote

By the time you get to your sixth record, some of the benefits of being in a band are grander than ever, but some of the obstacles are just massive. You deal with these lateral subjects, and all that is left is the elephant in the room. View quote

This song is actually about when I got arrested for about 30 minutes in Mexico, and as we were just about to cross into Tijuana, we were just about to cross the "Bridge of Freedom", which I always thought was an ironic name for the bridge into Tijuana, or the one coming back for that matter. And this woman was selling these crucifixes before you got to the bridge, and she looked at me and said "You're in for trouble", and I just scoffed and laughed and was like "You don't live forever" and I thought "Jeez, what's up with the weird old woman?". And then later that night I was sitting in this police car in Tijuana and they just beat the crap out of this other guy, not that I was with, and I was like "Am I next?". I had bought this fake gold chain because my dad had said "If you go to Tijuana, have some fake jewellery to barter with." View quote

Josh: No, I'm not high there. Not at all. View quote

Josh Homme
I've always heard music in my head since I was a little kid, so I've always played towards that. If I felt bad, that's what I did. View quote
