I hate being the heartbreaker. Hate it. If I date somebody and it doesn't work out, it's another nightmare for me.

In a time when everything can be next day and ordered and put on credit and paid for, music to me is promise, all promise, very little realization. It's the promise of walking into a room with a guitar and not being sure you will leave with an idea that will take, not being sure it won't slip away from you.

I don't write songs in order to stick it to my exes. I don't release underground dis tracks.

I am tempted to keep the car in drive, And leave it all behind...

I'm not really good at keeping my own secrets. I can keep other people's secrets pretty well. Unless they're really good and people deserve to hear them. And I'll disseminate the information accordingly.

The saddest kind of sad is the sad that tries not to be sad. You know, when sad tries to bite its lip and not cry, and smile and say, "No I'm happy for you"? Thats when it's really sad.

It’s my failure to sound like my heroes that’s allowed me to sound like myself.
