Mediocrity's like a spot on a shirt—it never comes off.

Unclose your mind. You are not a prisoner. You are a bird in flight, searching the skies for dreams.

I have a million things to talk to you about. All I want in this world is you. I want to see you and talk. I want the two of us to begin everything from the beginning.

No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself.

Say it before you run out of time. Say it before it's too late. Say what you're feeling. Waiting is a mistake.

I probably still haven’t completely adapted to the world. I don’t know, I feel like this isn’t the real world. The people, the scene: they just don’t seem real to me.

I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world.

My D'Angelico is a jazz archtop guitar. That guitar was made for Glenn Miller's guitar player in 1939. It's a '39 D'Angelico New Yorker.

So I try not to have any actual expectations for myself for any level of success or failure.

That gal's all skull and no brains. She's like Joe Frazier with lipstick.

Inside a dark well, everyman's favourite colour is blue!

I turn my gaze inward. I fix it there and keep it busy. I look inside myself. I continually observe myself.

If you don't live a normal life, how do you relate to people?

You can have it all without suffering from a meltdown.
