“I’d rather feel something for real than pretend it’s not what it is.”

We are all made from star dust and we will all return to star dust, like a cosmic palindrome.

But that’s a side effect of alcohol, isn’t it? Stopping to think about other people is not on the bar menu.

You know that saying about how you don’t know what you have until it’s gone-I already did know what I had, and now that she’s gone, I know even more.

I knew not to give the best of myself to the worst of people.

I’m sorry, but I don’t get it. If we’re supposed to ignore everything that’s wrong with our lives, then I can’t see how we’ll ever make things right.

Today I am in control because I want to be. I have my fingers on the switch, but have lived a lifetime ignoring the control I have over my own world. Today is different.

Isn’t it funny how we live inside the lies we believe?

The simplest answer is to act.

I didn’t think about anything past tomorrow because anything past tomorrow was just like cloud busting – it depended soley on the person looking at the clouds and it could rain any minute

The world is full of assholes. What are you doing to make sure you’re not one of them?

How can we say nobody’s perfect if there is no perfect to compare to? Perfection implies that there really is a right and wrong way to be. And what type of perfection is the best type? Moral perfection? Aesthetic? Physiological? Mental?

I can’t make you love me if you don’t, You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t.

I think everyone sometimes feels intimidated by themselves when they see themselves on the screen.

There is nothing to do except to be just who you are. You have the right to feel beautiful and enjoy it.

Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you’re an owner. Faith is at its best when it’s that way too. It’s best lived when it’s owned.

Love is like air we can’t see it but feel it.

I write and sing about whatever I am able to understand and feel.

We don’t feel constrained by what we did in the past.

If I don’t feel right about what I’m in, I don’t feel right about anything.
