I didn't mean to be a songwriter; I just was writing for fun, you have all day to do it. I was homeless so that's all I had to do.

I am most alive when I let myself be touched by the fingers of life.

There is a pretty girl on the face of the magazine and all I see is my dirty hands turning the page.

Life is seductive, yet so few allow themselves to be seduced.

Don't be made useless or idle with despair. Gather yourself around your strength for light does the darkness most fear.

I developed a loyal following. No one knew I was homeless.

We must demand more not from each other, but more from ourselves
