“I am not somebody who just likes to run. I am a runner.”

This is the difference between a pastime and a passion. I like to play golf, but I am not a golfer. I like to cook, but I am not a chef. I don’t just like to run. I am a runner. It is a passion

For something to hurt that bad, and feel so good, it’s just inexplicable.

It is part of who I am and is woven into the fabric of my personality, character, and psyche.

I love controlling a race, chewing up an opponent.

You are truly your own hero in running. It is up to you to have the responsibility and self-discipline to get the job done.

Let’s get down and dirty. Let’s fight it out. It’s raw, animalistic, with no one to rely on but yourself. There’s no better feeling than that.

I’m just looking for a mixture of songs and topics that aren’t the same thing over and over.

Memory is just as much of an instrument as anything else in music.

If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it’s not that much time away from home.

“It’s not where you got it from, it’s where you take it.” To me, that’s just an integral part of why I even bother making music.

Just try to do music that you like and you are proud of and not just whatever you think it’s going to take to get you on the radio.

Now it’s just sharp elbows, and instead of having a caucus where you sit down and say, ‘What are you doing for your country?’ you sit figuring out how to screw the other side.

It is a world in which every word spoken speaks just to that moment, every glance given has only one meaning, each touch has no past or no future, each kiss is a kiss of immediacy.

Just look at it. No wonder so many artists have come here and called it home. Brother.
