I have pit bulls barking at me on half of the love songs.

You gotta lean towards the things that make you like yourself. Forget everything else.

It is the melody and the rhythm that are by far the most important and then words and imagery and stuff, story bits will start to stick to a melody and that is the way I write.

I became at peace with the darkness or the personality that I have. I am usually pretty funny and happy.

I drink wine on stage to sort of loosen my grip on reality a little.

My parents know that I have always been sort of a dark melodramatic kid, so they were never concerned.

A song is a song and, if I am emotionally connected to do it, whether it is sad or not sad, I am going to chase that song.

I don't want somebody telling my daughter who she can marry, or what she can do with her body. That's what was at stake.

Maybe because I have spent too much of my life in rock clubs. I don't really go to parties anymore either. I'll usually be in the bus by 11:30 after a show.

I actually don't go to shows anymore. Rock concerts have lost their appeal for me.

Live on coffee and flowers. Try not to worry what the weather will be.

A liar is always lavish of oaths.

Business is a primary arrangement on God's part for people to love one another and serve one another.

The highest God and the innermost God is one God.

Logic has nothing to do with oppression.

I really like acting in French. It's actually quite different for me, from acting in English. It's fun acting in a foreign language. You're liberated or freed from preconceptions.

There are people who love you and people who hate you, but for me, more so, people only think they know me by how I act or perform on a tennis court.

It seems we always exceed even our own expectations-after a lot of hard work, though!

I never forgot the four years I spent with the Phillies, my September call-ups and my big league Spring Trainings. I never forgot that.

I was a big Fred Flintstone fan.

The words you'll most regret Are the ones that are left unsaid.
