Joshua Homme quotes

- "One thing about growing up in the desert was the solitude. You could see someone across the desert and say 'look, someone is coming', and 20 minutes later you would say 'look, they're still coming'."
- If you're trying to do something different, you can't ask someone to help, because they'll want to make it not different.
