“Don’t expect me to cry for the wrong reasons.”

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are.

They laugh at me because I’m different; I laugh at them because they’re all the same.

If you read, you’ll judge.

I mean I like to be passionate and sincere but I also like to have fun and act like a dork. Geeks unite.

I’m on my time with everyone.

Do your own thing. Others own their own thing. If you copy too much, you’ll find yourself in late night cocktail lounge cover band limbo.

Holding my baby is the best drug in the world.

I only remember a few things about Jimmy Carter. He had big lips and liked peanuts. I now know that Jimmy Carter was and is a good man.

Drugs are bad for you. They will fuck you up.

I didn’t find any of the girls in my high school attractive at all.

I never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar – hide in the back and just play.

I had a really good childhood up until I was nine, then a classic case of divorce really affected me.

I want to do something different, really different, and if it alienates people that’s too bad.

If chasing cool is important to you, you’re an idiot!

I just hope I don’t become so blissful I become boring. I think I’ll always be neurotic enough to do something weird.

Oh well, whatever, nevermind.

You can cry, ain’t no shame in it.

It was a fine cry – loud and long – but it had no bottom and it had no top, just circles and circles of sorrow.

The artist in me cries out for design.

Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you’re probably watching the wrong channel.

Crying can bring relief, as long as you don’t cry alone.

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.

People can cry much easier than they can change.

Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.
