I like the fact that there is challenge.

Sometimes you're trapped in writing songs and you don't have enough distance from what you do anymore and you need the talent and the years of other people to come and jump in.

Everything is temporary. Everything is bound to end.

It was an hour and a half plane ride, so I slept. I try to sleep because that's probably the only time I get to get my real sleep. When I can't sleep I read books or watch movies.

I'm always on a train or a plane, so wherever I happen to be is home.

I'm nothing more than what you actually see, but I am also the complete opposite.

I was in the studio so much, it was about the search for air in a metaphoric sense, and the breathing has more to do with travel for me, about the search musically for open air.

I believe that the beauty of repetition is something that is not explored enough yet.

It's just trying everyday to do the best you can and to enjoy what you have with the mixture of the venue and the sound and the crowd.

When you write songs, you can't really point out the exact thing you're inspired by. It's more a state or a mood or an atmosphere that you're trying to put into words.

I spend a lot of time writing in New York.

Just bring your wits. Sometimes that's the most effective weapon any of us has.

True happiness will be there when we learn to respect and love our women.

Some people tell us that there ain't no Hell But they never farmed so how can they tell?

Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which come only to the man who has found the work that he likes best.

Fear is a survival tool not a handicap.

Faith in God's revelation has nothing to do with an ideology which glorifies the status quo.

Moo may represent an idea, but only the cow knows.

Henry Ford, who despite his immense wealth never owned a Cadillac. Never got a dinner!

The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.

We have a relational problem with those who are suffering or who are different from us. All of us are most comfortable around people who are like us culturally and economically.
