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

I was listening to stuff and I realized that I've had a lot of different lives. You know the theory [that says] every seven years, you have a different life? I think that's true.

every time I've held a rose, It seems I only felt the thorns

You look so polished from your hair down to your toes, but still your finger's gonna pick your nose.

Maybe this won't last very long but you feel so right and I could be wrong. Maybe I've been hoping too hard. I've gone this far and it's more than I hope for.

When I look at great works of art or listen to inspired music, I sense intimate portraits of the specific times in which they were created.

My songs are like my kids.
