Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes; I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again

They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known. And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own. Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lovers eyes...and I can only stand apart and sympathize...for we are only what our situations hand us...it's either sadness or euphoria.

My songs are like my kids.

Most people you'd tell "I'm gonna be a musician," they'd say, "you're crazy, you're gonna starve, you're gonna be poor, a drug addict, go to jail, you'll never make it, there's too much competition, it's a terrible business," etc. But my chorus teacher in high school said, "you've got what it takes to be a really good professional musician, you should consider it." That was an epiphany for me. So I thought, well, maybe I can help somebody, too.

I look at some of the songs I wrote years ago and I can't believe I wrote such crap.

I'm a cosmopolitan sophisticate of culture and intelligence. The culmination of technology and civilized experience.

I could walk away from anyone I ever knew, but I can't walk away from you.
