“May your heart always be joyful. May your song always be sung.”

You get older. You start having hopes for other people rather than yourself.

All the money you made will never buy back your soul.

I don’t think I’m tangible to myself.

An artist has got to be careful never really to arrive at a place where he thinks he’s AT somewhere. You always have to realize that you’re constantly in a state of becoming. And, as long as you can stay in that realm you’ll sort of be alright.

Creativity has much to do with experience, observation and imagination, and if any one of those key elements is missing, it doesn’t work.

I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.

Keep a good head and always carry a light bulb.

My songs always sound a lot better in person than they do on the record.

You can’t be wise and in love at the same time.

I kinda live where I find myself.

I started writing songs after I heard Hank Williams.

You need something to open up a new door, to show you something you seen before but overlooked a hundred times or more.

God, I’m glad I’m not me.

I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.

Music can save people, but it can’t in the commercial way it’s being used. It’s just too much. It’s pollution.

You have to work out where your place is. And who you are. But we’re all spirit. That’s all we are, we’re just walking dressed up in a suit of skin, and we’re going to leave that behind.

Happiness is within you… so unlock the chains from your heart and let yourself grow- like the sweet flower you are. I know the answer- just spread your wings and set yourself free.

God our Lord would have us look to the Giver and love Him more than His gift, keeping Him always before our eyes, in our hearts, and in our thoughts.

For the heart that needs a dose of courage don’t run, don’t hide, don’t fear, hold on.

People who walk away from you without a clear conversation or a willingness to see your heart decided who you were long time ago. Let them go.

Don’t let people’s compliments go to your head and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart.

A stout heart breaks bad luck.

If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher.

A heart given to God loses none of its natural tenderness; on the contrary, the more pure and divine it becomes, the more such tenderness increases.
