To say what you feel is to dig your own grave.

There's a difference between, you know, God loves unconditionally in my feeling and religion loves conditionally. Religion spends an awful lot of time dictating who God can love and can't love.

If you really ever love someone, that doesn't go away, although you wish it would.

I feel that I was a useful contributor to society, and that I couldn't be a contributor to society in any other way.

Every pore of you is crying and you don't even understand why or what. I actually kind of died and got born again as a result of taking the meds and having a chance to, you know, build a life.

I love songs, and I love songwriting, and there's a standard of songwriting within Chicago blues in particular. I don't like the sad blues, necessarily; the Chicago blues is what I like, which is the kind of blues you can dance to.

My story is the story of countless millions of children whose families and nations were torn apart for money in the name of Jesus Christ.
