I play popular songs. This is not some obscure, unusual music. This is popular music.

I was kind of pathetic. That's what got me playing out in the street. I ran out of money and needed more gin for the night.

I don't care too much for thinking about the past. The truth is just another story. You can remember it any way you want; it's never gonna be the same twice.

I've been playing one way or another since I was about three years old. I don't remember not knowing how to play any instruments.

I don't think music is an art any more than cooking food is an art.

Some guy is good at putting these verses together, and some guy is good at singing them. That's just the way it is.

I'm just a guy that sings songs because that's what he likes to do, I guess.

I wouldn't consider myself a songwriter at all. Maybe I piece together a certain little thing here and there, but songwriters are people who do this with sheet music.

I don't associate much with anybody. I'm not big on all the teachings and groups and being a part of something, I guess.

I was born or raised in the church, so I guess the first songs I would have played would have been church songs.

I just started playing music on the street and walking around with a fiddle, and I think that's kind of when I started being serious - or as serious as it's going to get.

Grace is freely given by God, in sacred moment of salvation.

You were standing in the wake of devastation And you were waiting on the edge of the unknown And with the cataclysm raining down Insides crying "Save me now" You were there, impossibly alone

People ask you questions so you can reveal to them God’s intention

Show me a hero and I'll show you a bum.

There was nothing magical that the coaching staff did. This is about the players.

I think we acquire habits of mind when we're little, and I lived in the future because I was always imagining being a grown-up, when I could get out.

Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

You have to understand, I can't do any jokes about Ross Perot, because the last thing I need right now is another credit check.

This was an unbelievable experience.

[Statists] believe that government should make decisions for individuals. Since individuals usually prefer to make their own decisions, coercion and compulsion become necessary correctives.
