We are meant to go through this life with a partner, someone who picks us up when we're down.

Love is everything. Without it, I have no use for this world.

I started writing songs so late and I had so many day jobs - jobs just to pay the bills. So, when I started doing this, I said, "I'm never gonna do anything to corrupt this. Never try to "sell it." Never gonna do anything to make this a job." I can go five months without writing a song. Then something will happen and I'll write six songs in a week.

I try to help other people get through difficult times in their own lives.

I know that positive energy begets positive energy. I know that when I decide to see the good in something or someone, it's returned to me tenfold.

I write my songs usually while I'm walking around. Or in a car. Or in a bus, a plane, something like that. I jot down lyrics wherever I am. Usually it's on a vomit bag on an airplane or something. I just look for a pen.

I usually can be more honest writing songs than actually talking to people.
