Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming morning. If we don't, it may drench itself out in sorrow.

I wish it was clear for me how it happened [stop writing songs], then maybe I could start writing again. But it's kind of an "it." It just submerged itself. Because the way I had always written was just that it came out. It just happened.

I've been obsessed with stopping people from blowing each other's brains out since I was ten.

"Nasty Man" isn't a laughing matter, but you have to laugh anyway. The song, itself, becomes something of a laughing matter because we'd go crazy if we didn't keep laughing.

If you're gonna sing meaningful songs, you have to be committed to living a life that backs that up.

God must have something to do with joy ... and with sadness.

Someone had to change the world. And obviously I was the one for the job.
