A lot of people give up, but you cant stop me. If you close the door, Ill just jump out the window.

I'm not like normal people. I'm no good at relationships. I draw drama to me - it's the Jew in me.

Here in my heart, that is where you will be; you will be with me, here in my heart. No distance can keep us apart, long as you are here in my heart.

I have a good imagination. Look, I know what it feels like to have a broken heart. I know what it feels like to feel something for somebody. I'm just too weird to be in a relationship.

I see pictures in my mind and become the character in the song as I'm writing. It's kind of method songwriting, where you're the actor in the song.

I'm somebody who finds adversity is almost as good as encouragement. It's almost like, you close the door, and I'll find ten ways to kick it in and go around it or dig under it or something.

I know what it's like to have a broken heart. I know what it's like to feel pain: When my songs don't become hits, it breaks my heart. There are a million ways to break a heart. I can relate.

What makes a great song - you dont put it into words. You feel it. The perfect lyric. The perfect melody. It makes you feel something.

One of the benefits of success with new songs is that some of the other songs will get a chance to see the light of day whereas they wouldn't have before.

I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of my dear friend Ronni Chasen. I have had the honor of working with her for over 15 years. She was one of a kind. I loved her. I miss her.

If you asked me to I'd let you in my life forever. from If You Asked Me To

The biggest of obstacle in life, is not failure. The biggest obstacle, is the fear of failure.

It’s a father’s place to hate the son-in-law. It’s our place to put them through h*ll just to make sure they know what they’re doing.

Our ex-wifes always harbour secrets about us that make them irresistable. Until, of course, we remember who we are and what we did and why we are not married anymore.

Ghana, a land full of Gold! Africa, a land full of resources!

We need leadership. We don't need a doubling down on the failed politics of the past.

Well, having no intelligence, I'm looking forward to gaining some, whether artificial, superficial or super-duper.

Look upon yourself as a tree planted beside the water, which bears its fruit in due season; the more it is shaken by the wind, the deeper it strikes its roots into the ground.

I'm not handsome enough to be James Bond. Maybe a villain, though.

If you're an actor and you don't act for a long time you sort of think, I wonder if I can still do it.

For the American Indian, the ability of all creatures to share in the process of ongoing creation makes all things sacred.
