“The light from the oncoming train focuses the mind.”

Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk.

Nobody wins unless everybody wins.

The life of a rock & roll band will last as long as you can look down into the audience and see yourself.

Is a dream a lie if it don’t come true? Or is it something worse?

Just sitting around waiting for my life to begin, while it was all just slipping away.

Tonight I’m stepping lightly and I’m feeling no pain.

Music was my way of keeping people from looking through and around me. I wanted the heavies to know I was around.

The hungry and the haunted explode in a rock’n’roll band.

Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night.

Outside the street’s on fire in a real death waltz between what’s flesh and what’s fantasy.

Adult life is dealing with an enormous amount of questions that don’t have answers. So I let the mystery settle into my music. I don’t deny anything, I don’t advocate anything, I just live with it.

God have mercy on the man who doubts what he’s sure of.

You’ve got to learn to live with what you can’t rise above.

The future is now. Roll up your sleeves and let your passion flow. The country we carry in our hearts is waiting.

Two hearts are better than one.

I like narrative storytelling as being part of a tradition, a folk tradition.

I think everybody should focus on inner beauty.

Always focus on the front windshield and not the review mirror.

I always want to stay focused on who I am, even as I’m discovering who I am.

Don’t focus so hard on creating your best life that you wind up missing your life along the way.

Music became my focus. At 13, I was jamming with my mates. At 15, I was playing clubs.

God isn’t waiting on our memo. He is waiting on us to focus enough on Him that we get His memo.

Life in general you gotta believe in you…. you live your life for you, you do what you do for you, because the moment you start to live your life for others you’ll lose yourself within that. Focus on what it is you want to have. Go get it.

I can’t concentrate in flats.
