I'm trying to think about stuff like that: How can a show not be just a whining guy with a guitar.

The easiest thing to feel is sadness.

Our lives feel like these epochs, but really we are dust in the wind.

But in any situation with long love, I don’t think it ever goes away fully. You just sort of learn where to keep it.

I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind. I'm building a still, to slow down the time.

I don't know why you'd spend any of your time trying to remake something that you don't actually like.

There's that whole thing that happens in relationships - you can love someone but, as soon as they stop loving you so unconditionally that they stop being themselves, it can be so dangerous.

I'm not trying to say something super complicated. I allow myself to say certain things that mean a lot to me.

Let the world know what you live for...not what you fall for!

To expect life to treat you good is foolish as hoping a bull won't hit you because you are a vegetarian.

My mother used to play nothing but Billie Holiday.

On the square...I'm not riffin' like Andy Griffith, Just fed up, goin' head up, with competition.

America's corporations are a spiritual slum, and their arrogance is the major threat to our future as a free society.

Top Gun was one of my favorite movies growing up.

One of my books is a hallucinogen, an aphrodisiac, a mood elevator, an intellectual garage door opener, and a metaphysical trash compactor. They'll do everything except rotate your tires.
