I really wish I was less of a thinking man and more of a fool not afraid of rejection.

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.

If you are not doing what you love, you are wasting your time.

Out of respect for the things that I was never destined to do, I have learned that my strengths are a result of my weaknesses, my success is due to my failures, and my style is directly related to my limitations.

In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.

I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own.

Even though I'm in love, sometimes I get so afraid.
