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.

You're in the arms of the Angels; may you find some comfort here.

I was raised with a mother who told me that I wouldn't succeed, that I wasn't good enough. Even at the pinnacle of my success, she'd come to a show, and there'd be, like, 10,000 people screaming. And she'd say, "I just don't get it." I think she had so little faith in herself and her abilities as a parent that she couldn't imagine any offspring of hers could do so well. And all that did was drive me to push back. If someone says, "You can't do this," I'm like, "F-ck you! Oh, yes I can, and I will."

You pick me up and brush me off and tell me I'm okay, sometimes that's just what we need to get us through the day.

Music gave me a sense that I was worthwhile and that I had something of value to offer the world even though everybody was telling me that I didnt.

I will rememeber you. Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by and don't forget all your memories.

I like the idea that we build up these walls or rules or laws to maintain our reality, and when they fall away, you're left with a whole bunch of illusions.
