You've given me the best of you, but now I need the rest of you.

I keep telling people: Don't make me the poster boy for AA because I don't know a lot about sobriety, but I do know a lot about drinking.

I consider myself to be an inept pianist, a bad singer, and a merely competent songwriter. What I do, in my opinion, is by no means extraordinary.

I've written a bunch of stuff that no one's ever heard, and I don't know if they ever will. I'm just doing it for my own edification.

My songs are like my kids.

Take risks. Take chances. Don't be afraid. You gotta go into life brave.

You get paid like a really good call girl. Walking offstage is like the walk of shame.
