It's a very romantic sentiment, but to think that you would die if you didn't write, well, I would definitely choose to not write and live

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 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 speak to me in riddles, you speak to me in rhymes, my body aches to breathe your breath, your word keeps me alive.

Your love is just the antidote when nothing else can cure me.

I try so hard to live in the moment - I don't think ahead very much.

I threw bitter tears at the ocean, but all that came back was the tide.
