I would worry if I wasn't coming up with ideas, if I wasn't inspired.

I've had trouble being in relationships and writing. This has been a real problem for me. I don't know if it's because I'm not free to fantasize or create these fantasy things about other people

Blaze Foley was a genius and a beautiful loser.

I didn't grow up in a mom-and-pop, Ozzie and Harriet type of environment, but who did.

I don't keep a journal anymore. I did when I was a teenager, but now because I write about it all in my songs, that's what I'm really doing.

You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly, way before they're ready.
