I want to try to not be the child that had to go through too much too young. I want to be who I am now and not who I was then.

You look like gold. I've been fooled before, but now I know I've made the mistake in the past. But now I, now I know the difference from gold and brass.

People say, "How do you write songs?" I say, "Patience." I may have a track that's hot, but no words. I'll just let it sit for years, because I know they're going to meet. They'll find it.

You can kill a lot of time if you really want to put your mind to it Or leave it all behind and never really have to go through it

The good news is at this point as I get older, the load has gotten heavier but my shoulders have gotten wider because I've gotten happier so it's a damn good thing.

I can't not put myself in the shoes of every person I pass.

They say time will make all this go away. But it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.
