I guess what people forget sometimes is that when I write songs, I write them sometimes in about 20 minutes.

I started writting songs when I was really little because there were things I could say through songs that I couldn't verbalize any other way. Writting was something I had to do.

I'll be writing records until I'm dead, whether people like it or not!

I didn't have high self-esteem when I was a teen-ager, as I think most teen-agers don't.

For the ocean is big and my boat is small. Find the courage.

But I love to entertain. My vocation is to accrue all these experiences, to write about them, to get them out of my system, to not get sick, and then to share them publicly.

These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless, and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.
