My heart's dark, but it's rising. I'm pulling all the faith I can see.

Your skin upon my skin, in the beating of our hearts, may the living let us in, before the dead tear us apart.

When I was growing up, there were two things that were unpopular in my house. One was me, and the other was my guitar.

I can get onstage and cut that off and be superinstinctive. To be a good live performer, you have to be instinctive. It's like, to walk in the jungle, or to do anything where there's a certain tightrope wire aspect you need to be instinctive. And you have to be comfortable at it also.

It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive.

Together, we'll live with the sadness. I'll love you with all the madness in my soul.

On any given night, what allows me to get to that higher ground is the audience.
