I think a good song is a good song is a good song.

I think quite a lot of people have a friendship or a love that's gone like that and it never quite reconciles properly.

Why can't you write a great pop song when you are 85? Maybe you can.

There are some songs where I'll have had the music for 20 years and then finally the lyric will come through. That's not common but it does happen. Then there are other songs that come really quickly.

When you learn how to trust your feelings then you'll know how to recognize it - That part of you that needs no healing is like a swollen river rising. So choke me with a violent passion and drown me in a deep emotion. You've got to help me build this feeling. I'm swimming in a stagnant ocean. Been blinded by smoke and mirrors and crippled by a fear of tomorrow. If you don't help me shake this feeling, then I'll be marking time in Limbo.

I'm a live performer and I love playing live.

True contentment comes with empathy.
