Life is not always good, which is why music exists.

we are to be brought through the fire, not left in it. and you know what? to anyone that ever told you that you're no good... they're no better.

That was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love that does not exist. but darling, You are the only exception

There's a love that never changes, no matter what you've done.

Things won't start your life for you. I'm learning that. You have have to start your life for yourself.

What motivates me is seeing people in the crowd and wondering what they're going home to and what they're dealing with, and knowing that for the time being we're their escape.

Whether I'm being influenced by new music that I'm listening to, books I've read, my friends, or my faith, I'm learning all the time.
