Those yesterdreams were just a cruel and foolish game we used to play, yester-me, yester-you, yesterday.

Families buying dog food now, starvation roams the streets. Babies die before their born, infected by the grief.

My mother gave me an understanding that as good as you think you are, you're not so great. There's always room for improvement. The reality is when people don't have someone to give them a sense of guidance, and say, "Hey, man, that's not happening," it's really hard.

It feels better to love than to hate.

I always wanted my mother to be Queen for a Day. I always used to watch that show that came on television.

When I wrote the words and I have the music, I felt, wow, you know, this has got to be right. I got to sing it right.

We're not living in a one-dimensional society. You can't just talk about, you know, the horrible things in life and the destruction.
