I can't even explain to you how terrible that feels, that I equate dating a woman with punishment, shame, guilt, disappointment, reproach, reprimand, persecution. It's a nightmare.

What I enjoy about the live experience is getting onstage, being handed a guitar that is in tune, taking it off mute, knowing that the very moment I want to play a note, I can play it. People are waiting on me and I'm waiting on me, and I have no idea what I'm going to play. That's the biggest joy in life.

Very few things in life are worthy of the kind of emotional distress we put ourselves through.

Anybody who tells you to have a fallback plan are people who had a fallback plan, didn’t follow their dreams, and don’t want you to either.

Anybody who's made it will tell you, you can make it. Anyone who hasn't made it will tell you, you can't

I want to be the first guy from my generation who doesn't just represent one record but the promise of a lot of them.

I love you more than songs can say, but I can't keep running after yesterday.
