I grew up, I was going I want to be Jerry Lee Lewis. Only I can't play piano and sing that good.

I talk to people who are musicians, and they go, Oh this is hell. And I go, Are you kidding me? You never put tar paper on a roof, did ya?

When people ask me really stupid questions or get it really wrong, I feel embarrassed for them. I don't really feel angry at them.

My only expenses are probably guitar strings and records.

I don't spend as much time on my hair as people think. I get out of the shower, whack some grease on there and I'm done.

I never set out to write a certain kind of song, I just play my guitar and see if I catch something.

I believe the angels listen, God hears us pray. And I believe in a beautiful day.

I didn't grow up in the typical happy American home, but music was always a safe and wonderful place for me to go.

I keep things pretty simple.

I wear a lot of second hand clothes unless I have a concert and then I wear beaded and sequined second hand clothes. No stylist dresses me although I do have a woman that assists me with the buttons.

Singing is something that I'm always happy to do it and going in the studio I never felt any pressure. I just feel like I get to sing, you know. It's fun.

God wants to manifest His power through you

For years, the church has emphasized evangelism, teaching, fellowship, missions, and service to society to the neglect of the very source of its power--worship.

Is it possible to love someone and then stop loving them? I don't think I even know what love is

Strict punctuality is a cheap virtue.

When she lives at his palace, the maiden niece of a bishop can pass for a respectable woman because, if she has a love affair, she is obliged to hoodwink her uncle.

Why don't we just build you an house outside Hilly?

I use those expectations as a color on my palette, a certain temperature in the room. You can use those expectations for the great punchline, but also for a great painting, in society.

...you don't need ghosts to be haunted. Memory does that just fine without any supernatural help at all.

You're the only one in control over your golf ball. It's not like tennis: you're hitting a shot and somebody's hitting it back at you.

We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies.
