“My choice is what I choose to be.”

I can change the world With my own two hands Make a better place With my own two hands Make a kinder place.

The woman in you is the worry in me.

As long as the songs are strong, I think you can express yourself in any style and have it be soulful and have it be your own voice.

I refuse to age disgracefully in rock ‘n’ roll.

I’m not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum ‘n’ bass record.

Make sure the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you need.

It just takes a pebble to bring down a good man.

The advice I have for new artists is this – write great songs and play them live as often as possible. Get residencies all over town and crush it.

We figured you could download live shows for days, so we decided to go for a cream-of-the-crop approach, but not just take the best vocal or the best performances.

Every moral has a story, every story has and end. Every battle has its glory, and its consequence.

If you’re gonna live, then live it up.

You look like gold. I’ve been fooled before, but now I know I’ve made the mistake in the past. But now I, now I know the difference from gold and brass.

I love being on the road, I love playing.

Every time you have to make a choice about anything, think Does this go toward or away from what I want? Always choose what goes toward what you want.

The number of choices you make in the event that you see on stage, those choices are sometimes largely determined by the rehearsal process and the experiments that you go through and the choices that you make in the rehearsal room, not in front of an audience.

Economics is a highly sophisticated field of thought that is superb at explaining to policymakers precisely why the choices they made in the past were wrong. About the future, not so much.

Anything you can do needs to be done, so pick up the tool of your choice and get started.

Once I gave up the hunt for villains, I had little recourse but to take responsibility for my choices…. Needless to say, this is far less satisfying that nailing villains. It also turned out to be more healing in the end.

It’s not an easy choice, but that’s OK. Easy doesn’t equal good. Difficulty doesn’t equal bad. It’s just life, is all.

Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.
