As you get older, you accept that there are some tunnels that don't have any light in them, but you go down them anyway.

You can't really get the full joy out of life unless you really go for it. You just have to go into it and stay under some kind of hope or illusion that it's going to work. But as you get older, or the more experiences you have, or whatever it is that tells you how this stuff works, you also know that if you go all the way into it, there's the risk of losing everything but you don't have a choice.

I think that's what centers me the most - all my people, all my animals.

I know that is absolutely true for people when they are young - you don't want to be alive if the things that you love in your life aren't there.

You want to be influenced by the world because it has so many cool things about it, but it also has a bunch of bad things about it.

If you have a song that you think sounds like another song you should contact the publishing company and say I have a song here, let's cut a deal that lets everyone walk away feeling good.
