Pessimism and optimism are slammed up against each other in my records, the tension between them is where it's all at, it's what lights the fire.

It's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin and can't stand the company.

God have mercy on the man who doubts what he's sure of.

You'll walk with me out on the wire, cuz baby, I'm just a scared and lonely rider, but I gotta know how it feels... I want to know love is wild, babe, I want to know love is real.

The life of a rock & roll band will last as long as you can look down into the audience and see yourself.

I looked at myself, and I just said, well, you know, I can sing but I'm not the greatest singer in the world. I can play guitar very well, but I'm not the greatest guitar player in the world... And so I said, well, if I'm going to project an individuality, it's going to have to be in my writing.

Two hearts are better than one.
