There's people who think what they need and what they deserve in their lives is a lot worse than what they actually do, so they get themselves involved in things that are needlessly painful: brutal relationships, abusive relationships.

I think that, often, the people who can make you happy are right there, and having them in your life would make your life better, but you can't see how to do it.

Being in a band is about making the band the priority.

Got no place to go, but there's a girl waitin' for me down in Mexico. She got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin, and if I bring a little music, I could fit right in.

If you wrap yourself in daffodils I will wrap myself in pain...

You aren't really writing about what you did; you're writing about how you feel.

All my songs are where I am.
