Passion is something you'd easily die for. It's something you'd be honored to die for. It's something that's stronger than any machine man can create. It actually gives a mortal person wings.

I don't fly any awards at the house. Any award you get is usually for something you've done in the past. And I like to keep looking forward.

It'll never go away until the fear you are running from is finally embraced.

Failure isn't failure if a lesson from it's learned. I guess love would not be love without a risk of being burned.

Heaven's not beyond the clouds, it's just beyond the fear. No, heaven's not beyond the clouds, it's just for us to find it here.

While I'm playing baseball, I'm still writing songs and having tapes sent to me. I'm sure I'll spend a lot of time in the whirlpool resting these tired bones, so I'll be thinking of music then.

I like to follow my favorite team and talk sports with my band or fans. You won't believe how many musicians are sports fans. We have so much time on tour that we need these outlets for relaxation.
