“I’ve always wanted to push myself and move with the tide. That’s just how I am and it’s worked for me.”

I only write music for myself, I don’t try and appeal to anyone else.

I think I’m better behind the camera than I am in front.

I always just wanted to be the singer or the bass player in the band. I’d love to have a band, where I was obviously the singer, but where it wasn’t me, it wasn’t my name.

The thing that was most interesting to me was getting my first prints back from the printer and realizing photography doesn’t end with the click of a button, it starts there. Printing is so exciting.

It cuts like a knife, but it feels so right.

She says that her love for me would never die, but that would change if she found out about you and I.

Thoughts crystallize into habit and habit solidifies into circumstances.

I always knew I’d be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn’t know if I’d be successful at it, but I knew I’d be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.

I never had a long-term plan.

I feel quite sad for the young musicians coming up because they may never get to pay their rent properly. It doesn’t matter what the genre; nowadays, it’s so much harder than it ever was.

Can you lay your life down, so a stranger can live? Can you take what you need, but take less than you give? Could you close every day, without the glory and fame? Could you hold your head high, when no-one knows your name?

There’s not an instruction manual on how to deal with success, so you just have to rely on having great friends and a good team.

You’ll shoot the moon put out the sun when you love someone.

I got in trouble with the police, and that was a rude awakening. That was it. I’d seen the bottom of the pit, and it was time to scrape myself out of it.

The idea of putting out an album is quite exciting because it’s sharing your creativity with people. There’s no ambition to be famous. I couldn’t care less about that.

I watch everybody every night, from sitting down to being on their feet at the end, and I feel a sense of reinvention, of caring, presenting these songs in their purest form.

I’m going to use all my tools, my God-given ability, and make the best life I can with it.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

It doesn’t matter what your dream is, you can make it happen!

Some times your best effort just isn’t good enough.

Find a way to get paid for doing what you love. Then every paycheck will be a bonus.

Dream is not that which you see while sleeping it is something that does not let you sleep.

The pages of your past cannot be rewritten, but the pages of your tomorrows are blank.

It’s possible to climb to the top without stomping on other people.
