I prefer my music. I'm more of a one-nighter kind of person than to do a squat-down job for three months or whatever.

I don't trust anyone who does their own hair. I don't think it's natural.

I've never had that much trouble with the paparazzi, but I don't run the same circles that a lot of these people that do get hounded by the paparazzi.

Money ain't everything.

Adjusting to the passage of time is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches.

People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.

As a songwriter, you're allowed to write anything, and as a person, I am all colors in the rainbow. I've been through everything, you know, so I can write a positive song like 'Better Get to Livin'' because that's my attitude. But that doesn't mean I'm happy all the time. You can't be a deep and serious songwriter without feelings. You kinda have to live with your feelings out on your sleeve and get hurt more than most people. The fear I might get hurt means I might not be able to write another song.
