In this world, you've a soul for a compass and a heart for a pair of wings.

Fool you once, you are forgiven. Fool you twice, you're just a fool.

I know some artists who come out of country music and the three sessions a day work ethic where you walk in, and you're told you play this note, this note, and this note, and you don't vary it. I know that works great for some people. It wouldn't work for me.

I think that every new record is a chance to... I think what it is for me is my heart and soul at that moment in time... I've always felt that just being able to make a record is a privilege.

We all have two lives. The one we are given and the one we create.

I've never... when I was having songs on the airwaves, and that sort of thing, I never felt a sense of pressure anywhere except from myself, to do things the way I wanted to do them; to feel authentic; to feel like I was presenting my true self to the world.

Life is never a straight line - it's peaks and valleys. Why would you want to be the same person every day of your life?
