All I ever wanted to do was to do something good so that my parents could be proud of me.

I'm not a musician - I'm a ham.

The ministry of fear that won't let you live. The ministry of grace that doesn't forgive.

I can see thru mountains watch me disappear, I can even touch the sky. Swallowing the colors of the sounds I hear, am I just a crazy guy? You bet.

As I'm getting older a lot of my friends I used to go out and party with, they're all dead. The fact that I've been through that, I'm not proud of the fact that I've been through all that, but it's part of my journey. I'm lucky to be alive. I'm lucky to be playing music.

I'd rather see twenty thousand smiling faces than twenty thousand crying people.

I used to get upset by people not understanding me, but I’ve made a career out of it now.
