Although, my experience when I've been depressed, not only am I too depressed to sit down and write a song, I'm too depressed to pick up my feet. So if you can at least write about it, you're halfway away from it.

The hack songwriter will write the absolute truth every single word, whether it makes a great song or not.

People like to see human error when it’s honest. When people see you swing and miss, they start to root for you.

I've had more people in my life take their lives than... I think it's out of proportion with most people. I think a lot of them gravitate towards me because of the music.

I'm not dissatisfied with my place in it rock 'n' roll.

Stick with your heart and you'll be fine.
