Say goodbye to the oldies, but goodies, because the good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems

I started just concentrating on songwriting when I was abut 20; I'd been in rock bands six or seven years, kinda got that out of my system, I said, "ok, you ain't gonna be a rock star, you don't look like a rock star, it probably ain't gonna happen. So what you should do is write songs and maybe other people will do your songs."

I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage. I found that just surviving was a noble fight.

I can't think of one person I've ever met who didn't like some type of music.

Let me go on sleeping and I will lose myself in palaces of sand, and all the fantasies that I've been keeping will make the empty hours easier to stand.

And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts... Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they're for.
