I don't live anywhere, so that's what's fun about tours.

It's hard to make out the difference between insults and bad advice.

Try to keep your mind. Try not to eat bad, try not to wake up with too bad of a hangover.

I think I prefer singing in falsetto. I like the way it sounds. It doesn't sound like my natural voice. It sounds like a character.

I project love, music and love, and I pray for peace. A good song cuts straight to the heart; sometimes it doesn't need to be too many lines - of course, I do love a good story.

Opinions only carry weight in the second or third person.

I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone.

I'm making music with my friends. It's fun. It should be fun. You shouldn't make music if it isn't fun.

Everyone wants to be well-loved and appreciated but, at the same time, there are some people that just don't want to be your friend, and there's nothing you can do or say to change that.

Elvis Presley wore a Star of David and a cross around his neck and, when someone asked him about it, he said, "It makes me think." I love that quote. It's simple. It's beautiful. It's true.

I just like writing lyrics. I find a little satisfaction in performing live, making records. But primarily, I just try to write every day.

I don't see why it matters what is written. Not when it's about people. It can always be crossed out.

Robert Kennedy was inspired to take on organized crime by watching the landmark movie On the Waterfront.

Woodrow Wilson intimate Edward House urged that his boss never first be approached by argument. Instead, the President could be made most receptive by laying a groundwork of 'common hatred".

The period right before punk rock where people like Lou Reed and Iggy Pop were really strong.

I like the type of culture that the Internet allows to happen. And, of course, for some bizarre reason, that is cats!

I'd like to be writing songs for other people - I just like writing songs.

It's either good, bad or somewhere in between. It's either ying, yang or it's a combination. You're either male, female or somewhere in between. You've got to be somewhere on the map.

It's empowering to be asked to look at what's possible, not told how to do it.

Music is Magic. Magic is Life
