I can put some chords together and maybe write a song, but I'm learning every day. And that's the fun part.

And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while

When everything in life gets so complicated it only takes a day to change it

If you ever forget how much you really mean to me, Every day I will remind you

Be in control. Know who you are. And don't try to be different just to be different.

You can't knock on opportunity's door and not be ready.

Never had much faith in love or miracles, Never wanna put my heart on the line

You have to be who you are, and hopefully they dig it

You gotta know what you are, who you are and how you want to be portrayed.

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change 'cause you're are amazing just the way you are.

You have to envision your life, and then go backwards.

Poetry is no rocket science, a good poet writes from his heart!

That's the big mistake the environmental movement made - 'We'll scare the hell out of you, and you'll become an activist'.

As a human being, you know that there are some days when you'd rather not talk to anybody - but I can't really do that anymore without appearing rude.

Just as one candle lights another and can light thousands of other candles, so one heart illuminates another heart and can illuminate thousands of other hearts.

Republicans are not going to play I-told-you-so, but it is pretty obvious that the tax reductions passed in 2003 helped Americans dig out of a recession and get back to work.

The further along we get on our life journey the more we wonder about those who traveled before us and paved the road.

Whoever tries to imitate me is lost.

I know what it takes to make a band, how they should interact, what makes a record sound like it's a band - everything having to do with a band, I happen to be into.

It behooves a prudent person to make trial of everything before arms.

I wish I could write a beautiful book to break those hearts that are soon to cease to exist: a book of faith and small neat worlds and of people who live by the philosophies of popular songs.
