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

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

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.

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

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.

Letting go is the lesson. Letting go is always the lesson. Have you ever noticed how much of our agony is all tied up with craving and loss?

Now I know this is going to seem counter to every instinct that you have, but I'm going to ask you to sit still, or I'll put you in the trunk.

It is about time to see within us a real change and let it happen as we have made before we start.

Great people only think of great things”.

Thinking about the suffering of those you hold dear can reduce you to tears; in fact, you could spend the whole day crying.

I'm so happy to be able to give kids the opportunity to learn about amazing world of dance and music that I've have been lucky enough to make such a big part of my own life.

For him in vain the envious seasons roll Who bears eternal summer in his soul.

Nothing outside of ourselves will ever make us happy, because happiness is an inside-out experience.

See the long view: By all means "plant the corn, milk the cows, and feed the horses" but always keep the eventual "harvest" in mind.

No human endeavour can ever be wholly good... it must always have a cost.
