I felt like I was making a record under the radar, and that is my favorite way to do anything.

I want to walk through life instead of being dragged through it.

The ego is a fascinating monster.

I really do see that anywhere I am, whether it's doing interviews a hundred in a row, that every situation I'm in, I'm at choice in the matter.

I salute you for your courage, and I applaud your perseverance, and I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces.

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.

It's when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn't work for me.
