Obviously, everyone loves someone who appreciates you and puts you on a pedestal.

We do have to remain true to the idea of honesty within what you want to do.

There's nothing better than striving to be a better man.

Everybody has their own ways of wanting to do things.

You're not going out there to make a living out of it by selling records. You want acclaim and you want to know people are listening.

I wanted to make a very cohesive-sounding album. Anyone who has listened to me and brought me into their living rooms and their bedrooms - I am making this for them.

As an artist, expectations are basically your enemy. If you're truly making something to make it, then you're not thinking about anything else except what you're making.

The new solo album sounds like me: I'm singing about bad business transactions, bodily fluids, and courage.

Being off the road is one of the greatest things ever. It's hard for me to be around my friends who are on the road.

I am 36 years old, I can't change. I have tried, trust me, but I can't. It's nice to get over yourself and just do it.

You should never leave something with a feeling of defeat.

In what concerns you much, do not think that you have companions: know that you are alone in the world.

Patience is passion tamed.

Only the absolutely determined people succeed.

Novels without female characters were a lifeless desert.

Maybe next season we can race.

All I know is that if I continue to pitch well, good things will keep happening.

You want a happy ending, but not such a ridiculous happy ending that it doesn't mean anything to anybody.

The Family is the salt of the earth and the light of the world, it is the leaven of society.

Look at the flowers-for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are.
