Music is the marriage of the feelings of the living to the wisdom of the dead.

When you're playing festivals, you only get a half-hour. It's like a meat market. You don't get to be artistic. You don't get to play music. It's called a showcase for a reason.

A lot of religious texts make for good reading. That's why they hold up.

With death comes a choice. And death is a choice.

Try to keep your mind. Try not to eat bad, try not to wake up with too bad of a hangover.

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.

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.
