“I definitely don’t plead guilty to being a heartthrob.”

If you ever forget how much you really mean to me, Every day I will remind you.

There’s always a bittersweet kind of thing, but I feel like everything had to work out the way it is. Everything that had to happen, happened.

My goals are – I don’t need much. I’m a simple man. I think that success is having fun. And when I’m having fun doing music, I’m happy. If I can make a little money on the side doing it, I’m really happy.

I can put some chords together and maybe write a song, but I’m learning every day. And that’s the fun part.

Oh every time I close my eyes I see my name in shining lights.

I grew up with so many different songs that the ones that are fun to play are the ones I want to do.

I feel, as a songwriter, it’s one of the hardest things to do – to sit down and say how you feel.

No one sells a song better than the person that wrote it.

Expect me to give my all. Thats what I do every time I have a show. Give my all.

What I’m hoping is that every album I’m going to do will give my audience something different, and that they’ll grow as I do.

It’s probably the worst feeling in the world, when you’re deeply and madly in love with a woman and you know she’s not feeling you the same way, and you don’t know why.

You have to envision your life, and then go backwards.

I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It’s not super-poetic, it’s just from the heart.

I don’t like two stories. I like one story. I never grew up with stairs. I like to stick to what I know.

I don’t try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.

When it’s your time, it is your time.

I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death; and flung it back to me. People feel with their hearts, Ellen, and since he has destroyed mine, I have not power to feel for him.

The brain may take advice, but not the heart, and love, having no geography, knows no boundaries: weight and sink it deep, no matter, it will rise and find the surface.

Deep in the heart of the infinite darkness, a tiny blue marble is spinning through space. Born in the splendor of God’s holy vision, and sliding away like a tear down his face.

She said that these were things all women knew yet seldom spoke of. Lastly she said that if women were drawn to rash men it was only that in their secret hearts they knew that a man who would not kill for them was of no use at all.

Heaven did not seem to be my home; and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth; and the angels were so angry that they flung me out into the middle of the heath on the top of Wuthering Heights; where I woke sobbing for joy.

The heart of true womanhood knows where its own sphere is, and never seeks to stray beyond it!

He’d half meant to speak but those eyes had altered the world forever in the space of a heartbeat.

If only my heart were stone.
