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 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.

I just found over the years that it's very hard to change people's perception of what it is that you do.

Don’t just wish and dream—take action to make it happen.

If Christian, we open the Holy Bible. And read, they shall grow in the knowledge of Christ Jesus.

If human help fails, God will never forsake thee.

I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me.

When all else fails, throw a party!

I don't feel like I've really changed. Maybe I have let people see more of me than in the past.

Spirits that live throughout, Vital in every part, not as frail man, In entrails, heart or head, liver or reins, Cannot but by annihilating die.

The poetic notion of infinity is far greater than that which is sponsored by any creed.

So many characters are governed by the consequences of their actions, and I wanted to have a character who is the exact opposite.
