Very sad to hear about the passing of Nelson Mandela. He was a true inspiration for human rights and equality for South Africa and the reason apartheid no longer exists there. The world will never forget his capacity for forgiveness and magnanimity. RIP

One night love affair, pretending we don't care, and now we're left with nothing.

I grew up with British rock.

There's a saying, 'It's easy to write songs, but very difficult to write great songs.' I'm going through that right now.

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.

Difficulties are opportunities to better things; they are stepping-stones to greater experience...When one door closes, another always opens; as a natural law it has to, to balance.

I got my first real six string, bought it at the five and dime, played it 'til my fingers bled.
