I don't belong in limos or private jets or on stage with people cheering me but that's what's kept me grounded because I know it's not right.

Following a code of silence, you're never gonna lose the anger.

If you tell kids they can't have something, that's what they want.

You've got your passion. You've got your pride. But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.

I didn't graduate high school, so I never got a teacher's education, I'm mostly self-read, self-taught. I always loved music, so I would probably either be in a band with another group of people, or an arranger, a producer, a musicologist, a music history guy, something to do with music. Either that, or I would probably be in jail. Or dead.

Call me a joker, call me a fool, right at this moment I'm totally cool.

You can linger too long in your dreams.
