There are so few people that wake up every day and go do something that they dont dread... Im very lucky.

I've grown tired of traveling alone, won't you ride with me?

I've never been someone who's very prone to boredom. I don't know, boredom seems like something you should grow out of at about 15 or 16. There's so much that needs to be done.

I write pretty much year-round, but I definitely do more when a deadline is looming.

If I could write rock & roll songs on purpose, I'd do it all the time. But most of what I write comes out slow and sad because that's most of what I listen to.

The world changes fast, and a lot of the old country folks have a hard time keeping up with it, and it makes them sad.

My wife is so very important to me that it's made my mom more important to me. It's made every woman I know more important to me.

I've spent a lot of time in a rock n' roll band trying to fight off the fact that I was old enough to rent a car. And it's all sort of rushed in at once now. And I like it.

As my life changes, it gives me new things to write about.

Music is the sound of unspoken thoughts.

Yes I am aware of the rules. Yes I can totally see how I err the Queen.Yes it is this very fact of slaying her language.That gives my soul its melodies.

If a woman chooses to have an abortion, it is legal to do that in this country, but I don't think taxpayers should be put in a position to have to pay for those abortions.

I really admire Werner Herzog and Spike Lee. They're amazing documentarians. If you took away all the narratives, they'd just be amazing documentarians.

If you are under the dominion of sin, you are yet an utter stranger to the salvation of God.

I was determined that if I failed it wouldn't be due to lack of effort.

There's nothing like a shipwreck to spark the imagination of everyone who was not on that specific ship.

We can talk about corporations all day long but my goal is to help the middle class, somebody who makes too much to be on government assistance but still lives paycheck to paycheck.

Most music is metaphor, but Wolff is not. I am not metaphor either. Parable, maybe. Cage is sermon.

If there be no God, then what is truth but the average of all lies.
