Well, I've been in a few car wrecks.

I'm only this far, and only tomorrow leads my way.

I've never been much of a craftsman, in an educated way. But I think just the experience of writing makes the avenues I follow a little more efficient in some ways. At the same time, when you're young, you're a little more fearless, and there's less of an internal critic.

I do still get shocked every once in a while when I catch my reflection when I'm walking past a glass building, but it's in my mind about getting older and finding out what I'm going to look like as it unfolds - or as it folds, depending on where the marks and scars land.

I'm glad some people have that faith. I don't have that faith. If there is a God, a caring God, then we have to figure he's done an extraordinary job of making a very cruel world.

In so many areas of life, I'm a spaz and incompetent.

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