“We can’t plan life. All we can do is be available for it.”

Let me be patient, let me be kind, make me unselfish, without being blind.

My concept of successful living is escaping the matrix.

Everyday is another chance to get things right.

I have inner peace. It’s a different person.

Now I may have faith/ to make mountains fall/ But if I lack love/ then I am nothin’ at all.

Don’t be a hard rock when you really are a gem!

See fantasy is what people want, but reality is what they need. And I just retired from the fantasy part.

We’ve got to protect the music and make sure it never gets exploited.

Once you compromise yourself in one way, you compromise yourself in another way. And you’ve just opened the door to compromise, mediocrity, settling.

Consequence is no coincidence.

When you’re young and everything dramatic is exciting, you start to believe that hype that, in order to be an artist, you have to suffer. I’ve graduated from that school.

I am up there onstage alone with that guitar. I don’t have to consider no one else and whether they are comfortable. I need very little.

You don’t know how much artists go through to make it look so easy. It’s all in the practice.

I find, even though it’s raining, I just go outside. I look outside and I’m just so blessed to see it and to experience it, because for such a long time I was just indoors.

Miscommunication leads to complication.

I am just beginning to be more comfortable with my identity.

You can’t bribe the door on your way to the sky.

I booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio.

Sometimes you have to stop trying to force it, walk away and let your subconscious show you the way. Fill up on life for a while.

Your life’s work deserves sound money.

My life is not unlike Truman’s. I can’t go anywhere.

Everyone has the right to run his own life- even if you’re heading for a crash. What I’m against is blind flying.

My focus is to forget the pain of life. Forget the pain, mock the pain, reduce it. And laugh.

I love life ups and downs included, I hope all of y’all use the low points in life to learn and evolve.
