“Music touches us emotionally, where words alone can’t.”

Escapism is survival to me.

Sometimes I feel like I’m possessed with a multitude of demons.

I am eternally grateful.

I’m not sure I’m adult yet.

One of the most beautiful things in the world is seeing a mommy with her kids. There’s nothing more beautiful, nothing more sublime.

Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.

Do what you really want to do. Don’t play their game! Don’t do what they want. Find your own way.

Explore purity.

You can close your eyes to the things you don’t want to see, but you can’t close your heart to the things you don’t want to feel.

I’m shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I’ve done everything I can to avoid it.

People say I make strange choices, but they’re not strange for me. My sickness is that I’m fascinated by human behavior, by what’s underneath the surface, by the worlds inside people.

Money doesn’t buy you happiness, but it buys you a big enough yacht to sail right up to it.

I think everybody’s nuts.

I am doing things that are true to me. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled.

Puberty was very vague. I literally locked myself in a room and played guitar.

The idea of dancing is the only thing that scares me.

I think that women are more sensitive to emotional infidelity than men. I think men are more scared of physical infidelity.

A film engages you emotionally and intellectually.

In a relationship I’m a very loving person, emotional and sensitive.

I don’t react to a tragic happening any more. I took so many bad things as a kid and some people think I don’t care about anything. It’s just too hard for me to get emotional. I can’t cry no more.

For the first time I feel an inner emotional security. There is reality and dependability. My life revolves around Richard and the baby.

I’m an emotional guy, so I don’t have to worry about a girl trying to get me to open up.

I personally don’t do any hard drugs, because they get in the way of me getting to my base issues, and I’d rather get rid of the excess baggage than find a way to shove it deeper in the closet.

When I heard Aretha, I could feel her emotional delivery so clearly. It came from down deep within. That’s what I wanted to do.
