“I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.”

Peace, love, empathy.

I’m a much happier guy than a lot of people think I am.

Don’t expect me to cry for the wrong reasons.

Rather be dead then cool.

I was tired of pretending that I was someone else just to get along with people, just for the sake of having friendships.

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are.

They laugh at me because I’m different; I laugh at them because they’re all the same.

If you read, you’ll judge.

I mean I like to be passionate and sincere but I also like to have fun and act like a dork. Geeks unite.

I’m on my time with everyone.

Do your own thing. Others own their own thing. If you copy too much, you’ll find yourself in late night cocktail lounge cover band limbo.

Holding my baby is the best drug in the world.

I only remember a few things about Jimmy Carter. He had big lips and liked peanuts. I now know that Jimmy Carter was and is a good man.

Drugs are bad for you. They will fuck you up.

I didn’t find any of the girls in my high school attractive at all.

I never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar – hide in the back and just play.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.

A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.

Reality can be beaten with enough imagination.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

The time is always right to do the right thing.

One’s desire, not ability, determines success.
