I was never much of a bass player.

There is nothing wrong with loving the crap out of everything. Negative people find their walls. So never apologize for your enthusiasm. Never. Ever. Never.

When I'm in New York, I just want to walk down the street and feel this thing, like I'm in a movie.

I want to make sure I'm with a girl that's a good kisser, and that when I wake up, I have coffee and a cigarette. That's all I really want out of life. That, and world domination.

Some things were made to be felt

That's why I played music; my social skills were limited. I think a lot of people that experience that pick up guitars, because they can't communicate otherwise.

They don't make coats for this kind of cold

Bad nights lead to better days

While you can fill every heart as your own full of laughter loud as gold and passion quick as silver.

Is it possible to love someone too much? You bet.

I kiss her mouth and I know... for everything there is a word... for everything but this.

The problem with growing up in a cafe was the cafe never closed, my parents worked every day of the year from morning to night. So it was a big menagerie of kids, business and cooking!

You know what, the thing that breaks my heart is that there's no way I can answer it without hurting someone on either side.

Both my parents were big readers. My dad liked more macho adventure books like Shogun or spy novels. My mother reads murder mysteries. In fact, so does her mother, my grandma.

I play piano (bit of guitar) and I sing and I love to jam and harmonize with other musical people.

I have said that Texas is a state of mind, but I think it is more than that. It is a mystique closely approximating a religion.

Your playing is like salt water taffy. You see all the beautiful colors, red, yellow, blue, but they all taste the same.

I am very moody when I cook. I cook according to the way I feel at the moment. A little of this, a little of that, and almost always a coupcon of garlic. I never proceed by the rules.

When people are in acute crisis, residential care may be needed, but this should not be seen as a medical issue.

You will never find Jesus so precious as when the world is one vast howling wilderness. Then he is like a rose blooming in the midst of the desolation, a rock rising above the storm.

I'm happiest with people who've gotten furthest from traditional ideas of nationalism.
