I know I'm not gonna please everybody when I make a record. I don't let that affect any of my decisions.

Yeah I'm chillin' on a dirt road, laid back swervin' like I'm George Jones.

Hearing people clapping draws you in pretty quick. It's like bungee cord jumping - it's a rush; you just want to do it again.

I don't think I responded very well to the sudden celebrity, the sudden fame, and the loss of privacy.

Draw places you have seen from memory. I used to paint things I had glimpsed through windows while riding in the elevated train.

If you never heard opportunity knock, maybe you're never at home.

Not often, but every once in a while, God brings us to a major turning point — a great crossroads in our life.
