The outlet for my sorrow, that I do feel deeply, and the pain, is the songs. That's where it goes.

You're successful if you can get one person to pick it up and put it on the turntable and go, Wow, thanks for writing that!

My upbringing made me think that real legitimate music is written, not heard

Trust isn't something that's spoken and love's never wrong when it's real.

Longer is not my best song, it's just a classic love song, and every songwriter always dreams of writing a classic love song.

It's the chance of a lifetime in a lifetime of chance, and it's high time you joined in the dance.

Mystery's a thing not easily captured, and once deceased, not easily exhumed.
