You don't get over a broken heart/ You just learn to carry it gracefully.

I make a living from storytelling - if you're a public person and you sing songs about getting married to get a visa, and you are actually doing that, you're gonna end up in trouble.

I would cut off my right arm to be someone's lover.

What's broken can always be fixed What's fixed will always be broken

I would never kiss anyone/ Who doesn't burn me like the sun.

I had a period in my life when I was eight or nine when I was so scared of dying that I wouldn't go out of our house for a whole year.

I really think I need to find a home. I don't know if that includes a girlfriend or not, but first I need to find a home, definitely.

I hate when songwriters refer to their songs as babies.

I must admit that it seems like my mind really reconstructs some things, and in a very - I just know that it seems like some things are not as I remembered them when I do some investigation.

I think all of my songs are either based on personal experience or will be based on personal experience, because I do write a lot of songs prophetically.

I don't have a girlfriend. No, I don't. I haven't had a relationship in years, actually. But yeah, I'm still looking. It's kind of nice to be looking for a home at the same time.

I never can love you deep enough or long enough to satisfy me.

Before you cut down the tree, think of the birds that take refuge on it

I needed to protect her from this - and from herself.

Choosing forgiveness opens the door of your heart and makes way for a miracle in your life.

Grandparents are God's gifts to children.

100 per cent of us die, and the percentage cannot be increased.

To die, to be really dead, that must be glorious. There are far worse things awaiting man than death.

Anything that we can do to improve the lives of elderly people is welcome so far as I am concerned.

Warmth is to sun, as truth is to me.
