“I draw on my memories but blended with a lot of fantasy.”

You’ll shoot the moon put out the sun when you love someone.

I got in trouble with the police, and that was a rude awakening. That was it. I’d seen the bottom of the pit, and it was time to scrape myself out of it.

The idea of putting out an album is quite exciting because it’s sharing your creativity with people. There’s no ambition to be famous. I couldn’t care less about that.

I watch everybody every night, from sitting down to being on their feet at the end, and I feel a sense of reinvention, of caring, presenting these songs in their purest form.

I think all my videos suck.

Sometimes, you know, bad is good.

Difficulties are opportunities to better things; they are stepping-stones to greater experience…When one door closes, another always opens; as a natural law it has to, to balance.

I don’t like long tours. I find it much easier to go out for a short spurt every month.

My father’s a character.

I like to be able to present myself in two or three different ways because I’ve never really wanted to rest on my laurels and be something that people expected.

Trying to manage diabetes is hard because if you don’t, there are consequences you’ll have to deal with later in life.

Sometimes when I play that old six-string, I think about you, wonder what went wrong.

When your world has shattered, ain’t nothing else matters. It ain’t over, it’s only love and that’s all.

I do 100 shows a year, but I do it in fits and starts, as opposed to going on a long run.

I got reckless baby, put you in your place. Next time, maybe rearrange your face.

Search your heart, search your soul, and when you find me there you’ll search no more.

All right-minded people adore it; and anyone who is able to live without it is unworthy to draw breathe

My flowery and green age was passing away, and I feeling a chill in the fires had been wasting my heart, for I was drawing near the hillside above the grave.

Even when poetry has a meaning, as it usually has, it may be inadvisable to draw it out. Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.

For what is Mysticism? It is not the attempt to draw near to God, not by rites or ceremonies, but by inward disposition? Is it not merely a hard word for ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is within’? Heaven is neither a place nor a time.

I think that for some people faith is good – they have something to draw to.

Drawing and color are by no means two different things. As you paint, you draw… When color is at its richest, form is at its fullest.

I can paint and draw. I believe this myself and a few other people say that they believe this too. But I’m not certain of whether it’s true.

You fall into my arms. You are the good gift of destruction’s path, When life sickens more than disease And boldness is the root of beauty – Which draws us together.
