Most people remember me for a couple of tunes.

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.

I do like writing songs in a band. When it's rock, it's such a different kind of dynamic, obviously.

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.

Sometimes there's a general arc that you want to try and get better the longer you do something.

Each day begins a new journey of life, for if we awake, there is a reason.

My mom was sarcastic about men. She would tell me Adam was the rough draft and Eve was the final product. She was a feminist minister, an earth mom who wore a bra only on Sundays.

Americans have always been excellent at making romantic comedies - but dramatically, we don't really try to do it.

I have great judgment. I have good judgment. I know what's going on.

I just hope that you miss me a little when I'm gone.

I'm floored that the House leadership would turn its back on job creation for Mississippians.

All men can bear a familiar, definite misfortune better than the cruel alternations of a fate which, from one moment to another, brings excessive joy or sorrow.

I love movie sets. It's another home for me. Movie theaters and movie sets - they're just the best places to be. I love them.

When the mind, one-pointed and fully focused, knows the supreme silence in the Heart, this is true learning.
