My love, you know you are my best friend . You know that I'd do anything for you, and my love, let nothing come between us. My love for you is strong and true.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.

Hold on...Hold on to yourself. This is going to hurt like hell.

Everybody loves you when you're easy, so don't disappoint them.

I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.

I've never done heroin, but I totally understood what would drive people to that distraction-to need that so much.

Music is very nebulous, and you can conjure up a lot of moods with music. But lyrics - they're a lot more tangible. They're much more specific. And you want to say something meaningful and creative and artistic and that tells a story and that takes people someplace else.
