I'm writing new music all the time. I'm just not writing pop stuff. It's not my goal.

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

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

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun.

I took a fresh pack of Luckies, a mint called Sen-Sen, my old man's Trojans.

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.
