I think I'd been limiting myself in some ways just writing in first person all the time.

If you wrap yourself in daffodils I will wrap myself in pain...

There is nothing more important you can ever do for this world than to wake up and be a part of it.

Got no place to go, but there's a girl waitin' for me down in Mexico. She got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin, and if I bring a little music, I could fit right in.

If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.

Sometimes the world seems like a big hole. You spend all your life shouting down it and all you hear are echoes of some idiot yelling nonsense down a hole.

A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.

That's where the songs come from: that's what I'd most want people to understand. What sounds good or looks good, that's nothing. The only worthwhile thing in art is seeing someone else's heart.

It's always music first, or melody and words together, but never words first.

When life’s great storms come, the weak sink, the cowardly jump ship, the strong drop an anchor, the mighty adjust their sails, and the great sail on to their destiny.

Be a man: accept the challenge of the unknown, of the beyond. Let it become a great dream in your being.

I'm a win-at-all-costs guy.

Willows are weak, but they bind the Faggot.

When the enemy attacks you, this means that you are on the right road.

I think men should go see Beaches too. I think they'll understand women better.

There's potential for it being soon. The reality is that there are only 'X' positions available, so it's a matter of luck or timing. They are people positions, and Kim is incredibly qualified.

Today's folk song is rock and roll. Although it happened to emanate from America, that's not really important in the end because we wrote our own music and that changed everything.

I'm personally more struck by visual things more than musical.
