I always try to write a song, I never just want to write a record. Originally I was not writing songs for myself. Songwriting is my gift from God.

Now if I appear to be carefree it's only to camouflage my sadness. In order to keep my pride I try to cover the hurt with a show of gladness.

You are most certainly the inspiration for all of today's rock 'n' roll guitarists. Your music is timeless.

Put your trust in me, let this love be. This is for real, let time stand still.

There's some sad things known to man, but ain't too much sadder than, the tears of a clown when noones around.

As human beings, we're very materialistic and have all this stuff - furs and cars and diamonds and money.

Just like Pagliacci did, I try to keep my surface hid. Smiling in the crowd I try, but in a lonely room I cry.
