You can linger too long in your dreams.

I always wrote the music first, and the music gave me the mood and the lyrics were pretty much put in to give you a map, where that mood came from and where it's going. But my first love was really the music itself, and I guess I've gone back to that.

I look in the mirror and think, 'I don't look like a rock star.' I talked about this with Bono and we looked at each other and decided we look like a pair of bricklayers.

I'm sure you have some cosmic rationale, but here you are with your faith and your Peter Pan advice.

I hope it does not take the rest of my life until I find what it is I've been looking for.

Some of the stuff I'm writing is almost like hymns, some of my first singing and choral experiences were in church, the Church of Christ in Hicksville.

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