I do feel blessed to be in the public eye so I can share what I believe. But I think it would be extremely disappointing if I were to count on it to provide happiness. I've come to realize that any time I do that, the fulfillment is short-lived at best.

Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are.

At some point, I would like to write a book and other things, but I work best when there is some sort of deadline in my own mind, but not when fifty people or fifty million people are breathing down the back of my neck.

The thing I always default to is that I'll always be here to write songs.

Down the road, I'll probably have a kid or two or three. And there will probably be political events or spiritual things to comment on, and humor.

I'm consumed by the chill of solitary.

In my life, anyway, anytime that I judge something to be rigidly right or wrong, it comes from fear.
