I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people; we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart; there's been people who have left my life, and I don't have a problem with that. This is a transitory world; we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it and holding on.

People just wanna see someone talking about themselves constantly. I'm not interested in that.

Opinions only carry weight in the second or third person.

I think I try to do a lot of things to weed out casual fans.

A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.

I project love, music and love, and I pray for peace. A good song cuts straight to the heart; sometimes it doesn't need to be too many lines - of course, I do love a good story.

I don't like the word "happy." I wouldn't want to use it that context. I enjoy writing songs, it's a really good challenge, it tickles me. It's a wonderful way to engage with your surroundings, through poetry and songs.
