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

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.

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

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.

You may want that boy but you certainly don’t need him.

Insight is not about arriving at better perspectives for the existing situation but seeing new possibilities. What you need for this is clarity within yourself.

If your work is about creating something that you truly care for, there is no need to balance work and life – life is work and work is life.

Loneliness is a sign you are in desperate need of yourself.

I am not a hotel room I am home, I am not the whiskey you want I am the water you need, don’t come here with expectations and try to make a vacation out of me.

More often than I am not, all I need is the rise of my own lungs – I am already complete.

Sometimes you need to initiate change to move towards the right way.

Everything I need lives inside of me. Growing each day setting myself free.
