I'm not going to change my ways just to please you, or appease you.

The saddest part of the human race is we're obsessed with this idea of 'us and them,' which is really a no-win situation, whether it's racial, cultural, religious or political.

For me, in songwriting, I have a route I can take. Maybe there's some forks, I can go this way, this way. But I know those roads. I still have the experience behind me.

I don't think everything is going to get peachy ever. But I think we have to fight for what we believe in.

A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other... maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever.

A friend is always good to have, but a lover's kiss is better than angels raining down on me.

I'm a fairly tormented artist, and I'm less willing to indulge myself in self-pity, outside of songwriting.
