I don't describe myself as a Christian or religious, but I like to think that how I live my life is honest.

And I've been walking 'round with memories way too long.

If something bothers me, it bothers me for a long time until I find a way to work it out. Music provided me with a means of working things out.

Most of the music you hear on the radio today is developed for making money. It doesn't feel true or honest. You can feel it in the music.

Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing.

Turn off the TV and start digging around for information that's not from a corporation trying to make money.

Some guy refuses to fight and we call that the sin, but he's standing up for what he believes in and that seems pretty damned American to me.
