Just listen to all this sweet, sweet music. I'm working the music.

I want people to notice my writing abilities are real and that I'm not just stuck in one situation.

My mother always told me if you write about life, you will always be in the game. Just don't write songs write life. I decided to take her up on that.

People can say whatever they want about you without knowing the facts. They can criticize you without even knowing you, and hate you when they don't even know you. All of a sudden, you're, like, the bin Laden of America. Osama bin Laden is the only one who knows exactly what I'm going through.

While the angels sing, I'd ask you to marry me, give you the sun for a diamond ring, if I could do those things.

Take away the In God We Trust, tell me what the hell is wrong with us.

Within all of us there is a storm. Some believe it will never end: but he who has faith in the heavens above will weather any storm.
