“The reality in terms of the way the music has connected globally has exceeded what any of us could’ve imagined.”

The truth is that trust is a gift, it’s something we all can lose so hold on, it’s not where it goes, it’s where it can lead you to.

I want to find something I’ve wanted all along somewhere I belong.

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress, handful of anger, held in my chest.

I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night, shining with the light from the sun, and the sun doesn’t give light to the moon assuming, the moon’s gonna owe it one.

Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple; sometimes goodbye’s the only way.

This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would have you running from me.

When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind.

I always wanted to be a rock star. That was my childhood dream. That’s what I told everybody I was going to be when I grew up.

This lack of self-control I fear is never ending.

Like it doesn’t cater to the rich and abandon the poor.

Success is nice, but it shouldn’t be the only reason why you’re a musician.

Even those who never frown eventually break down.

Who cares if one more light goes out?

No need to hear your voice or see your face to know that you are with me.

You’re constantly trying to prove yourself, even after you’ve made it.

Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past, bringing back these memories I wish I didn’t have.

How empowering it is to easily cut toxic connections.

The greatest obstacle to connecting with our joy is resentment.

Writing for other artists helped me figure out that magic you have to capture to make everyone connect with a song.

I make sure to use both Twitter and Facebook a lot which helps me connect to the fans.

One way to look at meditation is as a kind of intrapsychic technology that’s been developed over thousands of years by traditions that know a lot about the mind/body connection.

Everything that is in the heavens, on earth, and under the earth is penetrated with connectedness, penetrated with relatedness.

One of the most powerful networking practices is to provide immediate value to a new connection. This means the moment you identify a way to help someone, take action.

When we get too caught up in the busyness of the world, we lose connection with one another – and ourselves.
