Things that I would say or would like to saw are just easier to sing about and put out there in music.

All I can do is do what I can do, and do what I know how to do. I do what I love to do, and that's pretty much it.

I know that I'm capable of moving around on the guitar. I can express myself the way I want to and feel good about it. But as far as technical chops, I'm not a learned musician.

There's nothing like a music festival. People are ready to have a good time. I don't think anyone comes to a festival going, 'I'm gonna be a complete bummer today.

I don't think anything can touch the expressive range of the guitar.

Somewhere along the way we all go a bit mad. So burn, let go and dive into the horror, because maybe it’s the chaos which helps us find where we belong.

Now you are the helper of this victim, tomorrow the victim will be the killer and you will be the victim.

Courage drown by horses is hard to market, and makes more wounds.

It is good that war is so horrible, or we might grow to like it.

Sometimes you will think you can't take it another day. But if you hang in there, one step at a time, you will be able to accomplish more than you ever imagine.

It's always discouraging when you don't have things go your way. They are frustrated just like the rest of us.

There will never come a time when you don't have to practice

I'm hoping that Penn State will one day be able to find a cure for cancer. Being a part of THON means I'm doing my part to find that cure.

I always wanted to make a film that had this sort of Chinese-box effect, in which you keep opening it up and opening it up, and finally at the end you're at the beginning.
