For whatever reason, not all people are born with the particular gift of being able to express ourselves through music. And, believe me, it is a gift.

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

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've lived long enough to have learned, the closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned.

Slow down you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be Before your time Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight Too bad but it's the life you lead You're so ahead of yourself That you forfeit what you need Though you can see when you're wrong

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

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