I feel like I've met most people I look up to musically. I just want to meet Chef.

It was funny to just take a backseat and be like, 'Wow, I might be in this crazy place, but maybe I don't need to understand everything, maybe I don't need to be someone else.'

The more I know, the more I realise I don't know. And the more I realise I'll never truly understand.

You always know when a real inspiration is behind the melody, arrangements, even lyrics. And I know that's really vague, but it's true.

Raucous drunken trumpets and instrumentation tend to guide the way you think. They can give you a path to follow lyrically.

As a teenager and a young adult, I never felt like my own story was interesting enough to tell, so I always wrote lyrics from someone else's perspective - told someone else's story.

My dad is obsessed with music, so I was raised around this guitar player that really wanted me to be a guitar player.

I think that sonically, music speaks volumes more than words do, and I have always thought that and will continue to think that for the rest of my life.

I'm sure that's every adolescent's complaint about their home town. When a city is unstimulating, you get pretty isolated.

I want a song that raises the hair on the back of my neck when I sing it live and I want to feel it every time.

I could probably spend the next five years reworking an album from ten years ago, if given the chance, to make it better - make it best, so to speak.

It is better to die fighting than to die on your knees.

But this revolutionary act of treating ourselves tenderly can begin to undo the aversive messages of a lifetime.

Some live life passionately, some live just to be alive, while some are already dead and are waiting for it to be official. Live your life to the fullest so your legacy won't ever die.

Active valour may often be the present of nature; but such patient diligence can be the fruit only of habit and discipline.

We created a new kind of agency ... We had to retrain our people. But the corporations that will be successful will be those that are willing to change.

I'm not an athlete; I'm a quarterback. I don't have great speed, and I can't throw 90 yards down the field. I win games because I've done the mental preparation.

A thousand things might have stopped me from being here right now, but instead, a thousand things brought me here.

What I most wanted even at that early age, was to capture and hold the truth, with the certainty and love that it brings.

Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job.

Love is an overarching style of relating to another.
