I'm curious about life, period.

I mean, there's times to rock and roll, and I love that too. But I think my first love is acoustic music.

Generally, my writing is influenced by living, by absorbing everything that happens to me and my actions.

There really is a kind of insane beauty around us all the time. It's just a question of learning to slow down, take a deep breath and meet the moment.

Teach your children well...and feed them on your dreams...Don't ever ask them why. If they told you you would cry. So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

Teach your children well, so they don't live in off-campus group houses and throw loud parties while I'm trying to sleep.

I still have an insane drive to create and express myself, and it'll never stop because I don't know how to stop it.

The Hollies, after I left in 1968, had the audacity, the gall, to have three number one records after I left. Thanks a lot, guys.

There is a great correlation between music and images.

Being in a different band always brings great musical experiences to be able to draw on.

People like Beck and Shawn Colvin are some of the people I listen to lately.

The road of grief is often long and lonely and many stones need to be moved out of the way, but it is not without its lighter moments.

But if there is a just God, there is ultimate justice.

We give all we have, lives, property, safety, skill...we fight, we die, for a simple thing. Only that a man can stand up.

I don't like my men to be too ornate. I like them to stand back and let their women shine, and they should really wear the pants in the relationship.

The instruction of children should aim gradually to combine knowing and doing. Among all sciences mathematics seems to be the only one of a kind to satisfy this aim most completely.

what exactly is postmodernism, except modernism without the anxiety?

Either you believe in markets, or you believe in government.

We felt like the Taliban saw us as little dolls to control, telling us what to do and how to dress. I thought if God wanted us to be like that He wouldn't have made us all different.

It seems, in tragedy, that innocence is not enough.

Forgive yourself and welcome love back into your life.
