My hard work finally catching up with perfect timing

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

I always hung around older dudes. I feel like I was more wise and I just had more knowledge of what was going on.

If you want to play piano, you just gotta love piano, and I loved the way that music sounded from the beginning. Always did - everything about an instrument I loved.

It's the timing. I don't have to do it [drugs] all the time.

Everybody just needs a second chance.

I don't write hits for myself, or for other artists, or to just be writing it. I write it because I was born to do this. I was given this gift and I'm making the most of my opportunity.

You know that I can make hits. You know I can do all these rap records. So, I'm going to start opening up and letting you know my struggles.

The Destiny of Man is to unite, not to divide. If you keep on dividing you end up as a collection of monkeys throwing nuts at each other out of separate trees.

My die-hard fans who came out - I call them my die-hard fans because any time a fan pays to see you, they have to love what you're doing, respect the craft.

The U.S. Senate - an old scow which doesn't move very fast but never sinks.

Intelligence and genius

I have my own biography of Gram Parsons - I don't want to be part of somebody else's.

We live in an extraordinary time

It is easier for a man to be thought fit for an employment that he has not, than for one he stands already possessed of, and is exercising.

Shed your mortal skin and let me take you beneath the waves.

I'm extremely blessed because I travel extensively for my work, but I always try to incorporate a bit of leisure with business.

The worst of a modern stylish mansion is that it has no place for ghosts.
