When you're dreaming with a broken heart, the waking up is the hardest part. You roll outta bed and down on your knees and for a moment you can hardly breathe.

I'm not an icon. Not even in America.

It's almost charity work, what people have done, turning other people on to my music.

If you told me I was going to live to 240, I would take 10 years off and try and act. I don't have that kind of time, so I'd much rather stick to playing guitar.

Songs can be Trojan horses, taking charged ideas and sneaking past the ego's defenses and into the open mind.

She's perfect, so flawless, I'm not impressed.

The minute hand moves faster than you think it does.
