I work with musicians whose opinions I respect and if they don't like something they don't hold back. They'll say, 'That really sucks' and 'You've lost it' and 'You're no good anymore.' And I crawl away with my tail between my legs and I fear that kind of ridicule, but I want them to like the music I'm bringing to them.

We all end in the ocean. We all start in the streams. We're all carried along, by the river of dreams.

It's really hard to make a living as a musician. It's almost impossible.

It feels great to have a #1 album.

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

I'm carrying the weight of all the useless junk and modern man accumulates.

People in music lie, but they don't expect you to believe them. People in television actually expect you to believe the lies.
