You never know which gig is going to be your last.

Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.

I make mistakes. I say stupid things. I do idiotic things. And, quite frankly, I'm proud of them. Why not make mistakes?

Real love takes work. You have to be willing to make the effort.

I'm one of these people that always looks on the bad side of the fence.

So long as even a single dog in my country is without food, my whole religion will be to feed it.
