I used to drink a lot. I had to stop drinking because it was getting the better of me, and I replaced that with really doing shows.

There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.

It strikes me there's a bunch of people in power who have really strong intentions of running the world and adjusting the world to exactly how they see it.

I'd love to have a hit record. I don't believe anyone that says they wouldn't like that.

In certain ways I still feel like I'm finding my way. I feel pretty comfortable playing acoustic guitar and singing, but then I feel pretty good sitting on a reggae groove as well.

I had a very erratic career. I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know?

It's frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it's just so difficult to cut through.

I like to let the songs speak so that they can go through some kind of rebirth as you play them.

When you go through a trial, the sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which you lay your head.

You learn a lot from financial disclosure. And you should go down and take a look at that.

While this is good and it stores up knowledge and power, at the same time there's a problem with it because it means that a person becomes more fixed.

I don't like being stuck in one situation, day to day.

The lives of the best of us are spent in choosing between evils.

In another couple of generations, we're really gonna see the effect of this single-parent raising. And I think that's the problem. That's the disconnect. That's the miscommunication.
