When I think of mystery, I don't think about myself. I think of the universe, like why does the moon rise when the sun falls? Caterpillars turn into butterflies? I really haven't remained a recluse.

Even if you don't have all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don't have that you don't want (Bob Dylan's dad)

I like spiritual songs. They struck me as truthful and serious. They brought me down to earth and they lifted me up all in the same moment.

Everyone of them words rang true and glowed like burning coal, pouring off every page like it was written in my soul from me to you.

A lot of people can't stand touring but to me it's like breathing. I do it because I'm driven to do it.

And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.

Most songs have bridges in them, to distract listeners from the main verses of a song so they don't get bored. My songs don't have a lot of bridges because lyric poetry never had them.
