I never, ever said that I was a nice guy.

I'm still basically the same as I always was. I still listen to the same people. That's where I'm coming from.

In deep confusion, in great despair, when I reach out for him, he is there. When I am lonely as I can be, then I know God shines his light on me.

When I started you were more in touch with the people you were playing to. There wasn't the distance or the separation that there is now.

I was like one of those newspapers, those periodicals. There's all different kinds of alcoholics. There's the everyday kind: that's the consistent one. That's what people think an alcoholic is-but an alcoholic is basically just someone who's allergic to alcohol. That's all it means. It's just an allergy.

Shivers up and down my spine It's a feeling so divine Let me go back for a while Got to go back for a while To that magic time.

There's a million things that come through when you put songs together and it's kind of difficult to pinpoint exactly what triggers it on every occasion. It's just like somebody writing a screenplay or something like that.
