You pick up some fans and a handful of haters along the way.

And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while

When everything in life gets so complicated it only takes a day to change it

If you ever forget how much you really mean to me, Every day I will remind you

Be in control. Know who you are. And don't try to be different just to be different.

You can't knock on opportunity's door and not be ready.

Never had much faith in love or miracles, Never wanna put my heart on the line

You have to be who you are, and hopefully they dig it

You gotta know what you are, who you are and how you want to be portrayed.

Whats not to love is hardly a reason to love. And the catch of your life is not the same thing as the love of your life. Be careful of that subtle but rather crucial distinction.

Now I can see how that can happen. You can fall in love with anybody--a fool, a criminal, a nothing. There are no good rules.

Riders called me up afterwards to say that they had had no other choice. I couldn't understand the way they changed their tune.

I've never been in the studio where it felt like I didn't have a voice. Whether I was co-producing or producing by myself, this community is the one place where I really see democracy at its purest.
