Most people you'd tell "I'm gonna be a musician," they'd say, "you're crazy, you're gonna starve, you're gonna be poor, a drug addict, go to jail, you'll never make it, there's too much competition, it's a terrible business," etc. But my chorus teacher in high school said, "you've got what it takes to be a really good professional musician, you should consider it." That was an epiphany for me. So I thought, well, maybe I can help somebody, too.

You can’t go the distance with too much resistance

I'm probably writing music now for the same reason as I started writing songs when I was 14 - to meet women.

I see the winos talking to themselves and I can understand.

It should be easy for a man who's strong to say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong.

Musicians now find themselves in the unlikely position of being legitimate. At least the IRS thinks so.

You want to give people a reason to hate my guts more? I'm making more money.
