In the world of music, the audience is not just fans of music; they're fans of many things.

Always remember there is nothing worth sharing, like the love that let us share our name.

Sometimes I'm extremely afraid of the unknown, but I'm so grateful to be on that journey.

I think everyone on the planet is a fan of a painting because everyone is a fan of visual stimulation, but I've had freedom in the world [of painting] because I've kept it to myself.

Whether it's about children or not, we have to move forward.

In the music world, when we're making work, we are obligated to no longer be completely free from what we are to someone else - sort of like an athlete, where you become a role model to someone.

We have to continue to grow within and outwardly. We have to keep going.

One of the things that I love about painting is that I never consider myself to have an audience.

I have always considered myself an artist and painting was the first medium that I claimed.

To me, humor is part of a conversation with an audience.

When it comes to performing and entertaining, the art removes itself from the writing.

I meditated on my childhood, vague and distant before high school, where Laura still flickered only on the edge of things.

My future's about trying to be a better man.

The environment that creates winners is almost always made up of winners.

Beware the artist who's an intellectual also. The artist who doesn't fit.

Luck and destiny are the excuses of the world's failures.

Don't you know That lovers make the rains, Call forth the sun, Re-route hurricanes, And exorcise earthquakes for fun.

Bad theology dishonors God and hurts people.

Character no longer is shaped by only two earnest, fumbling experts. Now all the world's a sage.

Long life, and short, are by death made all one; for there is no long, nor short, to things that are no more.

Don't Let the Elusive Present Moment Get Used Up by Thoughts that Aren't in the Here & Now
