I have the obsessiveness of someone who's a sober, recovering addict displacing his addiction. Except I never had the addiction.

I can't stress enough how important it is to write bad songs. There's a lot of people who don't want to finish songs because they don't think they're any good. Well they're not good enough. Write it! I want you to write me the worst songs you could possible write me because you won't write bad songs. You're thinking they're bad so you don't have to finish it. That's what I really think it is. Well it's all right. Well, how do you know? It's not done!

You should have a picture of yourself as a kid in your home so that you remember where you came from.

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

I know the heart of life is good.

In the quest to be clever, I completely forgot about the people that I love and that love me.

It's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.
