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.

God only knows how much I'd love you if you let me, but I can't break through at all.

I've never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, 'We're full.'

When you're just open but not honest, then you start free-associating garbage.

Sometimes it feels like my life is just one long day.

Sometimes you tell someone to never call you again; and then the phone rings and you hope it's them - it's the most twisted logic of all time.

Every song I put on a record could be a single and I just pack my bags for it... and the minute it takes off, I'm not gonna be home for a while.
