Part of the business of being an artist is abetting talent. The best do that.

Why do you still feel the need to punish yourself for something that was out of your control?

I always fantasized about having a girl stand on my bar like in that movie Coyote Ugly, but I never thought it would happen.

Yet the past has a will of its own, and you must learn to entertain it, because it will visit, invited or not.

If you're around someone who makes you feel good, you have to go for it. Don't hold back.

I'm making out with a dead girl in my dreams. I'm screwing women I have no business screwing. I'm pushing away the one person who actually gives a damn about me. It's like the Bermuda Triangle of heartache and I'm sinking fast.

If you don't kill yourself right away when something terrible happens ... if you go on living, you become a different person.
