Different cultures have different audiences.

Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.

A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.

Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?

I sometimes write as if I were talking to myself, or to a mirror, or to someone for the last time. There's this element of confrontation.

It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.

I just want to scream: "I'm being honest, I swear!" Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.

I'd rather people interpret the songs and get whatever they can out of them instead of thinking about me crying in a room with a guitar.

I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.

People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.

I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.

Cynicism places the cynic at the center seat of judgement with the self appointed authority to criticize and condemn.

Only through service and sacrifice can you become great.

In terms of fiction, I'd rather go out and have a good time than read a book about someone having a good or bad time.

Always remember, with a strong enough will, even the weak can wield great power.

The books we enjoy as children stay with us forever -- they have a special impact. Paragraph after paragraph and page after page, the author must deliver his or her best work.

For monarchs seldom sigh in vain.
