Most of the famous love affairs of literature or film were quite short. What was Romeo & Juliet? How long were they together? A few days.

I love Neil Young. His songs were the first songs I learned to play, and I recommend anyone who is starting guitar to learn Neil Young songs first.

I like playing in other projects.

If somebody sings a song that I wrote, I feel like its a nice point of validation for the song, because it shows that the song is able to stand on its own. I like that.

When I started to write a tune, I just wrote the nearest at hand, which was what was happening in my own life.

I love having other people sing my songs.

If you write a song, and you go into a restaurant, and there's a guy with a piano singing and he's playing piano, singing your song, or you hear it at a wedding or at an airport... it's fun!

if i had forever to do whatever i wanted, i would spend three years in reality and spend the rest of my time just thinking and decrypting what i saw and what would have happened to make it like so.

If we are to be blessed, we must pursue the Giver of blessings.

I love LA, but we don't really have beautiful natural things to look at. I just want to be in nature and go back to my roots and just see beautiful things, that's really all I want.

When it comes to staying tuned: if you rest, you rust.

We must refuse to lean upon the broken staff of human wisdom & cling to the gospel alone as the power of God to save a hardened humanity.

I totally have no love for that whole romance for that Antebellum time period.

I touched an Oscar once. Friend of mine has one, for writing. As soon as I touched it, he said, Now you'll never win one.

The Spirit hasn't deserted the church today.

How my achievements mock me!
