My attitude has always been if you get better and you see success, that should motivate you to even work harder, so that's kinda how I approach everything.

When you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes.

I've found time can heal most anything and you just might find who you're supposed to be.

You'll always know more in the future than you know now.

I didn't know what a stockbroker was when I was eight, but I would just tell everybody that's what I was going to be.

My favorite thing in the world is telling stories, and most of what I do is telling stories through music.

I do write nice songs about the guys who are nice to me! Eventually, I'm sure one of them will write a response - that's a pretty scary concept, actually! But I make sure I only write bad songs about the ones who deserve it.
