I encourage all of you to find strength within yourself, no matter what. Be proud of who you are and never let anyone or anything take that away from you. Inner Strength is something that we are all born with. However, I've learned that it requires patience and perseverance to fully achieve it. I promise you, though, that as long as you know in your heart who you are and what you want from this world, nothing is gonna stop you.

Every day, people say crappy things about my band or whatever, but I live a positive existence. I got through everything by virtue of having the same passion that I've had through the years.

There's absolutely no one in the world that can tell you can't do something. You're the only person that can set that limitation.

I make more time to have fun in the life I'm living before I'm worm food.

I know that isn't always easy and that there is self-harm in the world. Sometimes it's hard for people to rise above things.

Bathe in your riches and friends, I'll stay here with my songbooks and pens

Our shows have always been sort of an all-generations thing, people from 6 to 60. The other night, we played a show and we had a woman who was probably 70 to 75 years old, and she was there alone and she was singing every song. On the other end of the spectrum, there was a 7-year-old on his dad's shoulders and the dad is singing along.
