I got by as a musician since day one. I don't live beyond my means. I have real cheap tastes.

I talk to people who are musicians, and they go, Oh this is hell. And I go, Are you kidding me? You never put tar paper on a roof, did ya?

When people ask me really stupid questions or get it really wrong, I feel embarrassed for them. I don't really feel angry at them.

My only expenses are probably guitar strings and records.

I don't spend as much time on my hair as people think. I get out of the shower, whack some grease on there and I'm done.

I never set out to write a certain kind of song, I just play my guitar and see if I catch something.

I believe the angels listen, God hears us pray. And I believe in a beautiful day.

I didn't grow up in the typical happy American home, but music was always a safe and wonderful place for me to go.

I keep things pretty simple.

I wear a lot of second hand clothes unless I have a concert and then I wear beaded and sequined second hand clothes. No stylist dresses me although I do have a woman that assists me with the buttons.

Singing is something that I'm always happy to do it and going in the studio I never felt any pressure. I just feel like I get to sing, you know. It's fun.

Do not only think about it, but feel about it, also, before taking appropriate action.

I know not what it is about you that makes me go crazy but I do know that the radiance in your eyes is more dazzling than that in all the diamonds of this world!

Don't lose heart, we're just rusty angels.

And his words fell upon the table like a blessing.

Love is a strange creature that no man can understand

- Boys my age are boring. They have nothing to say and half of them seem like complete idiots.I was going to say that they didn't improve with age but didn't want to spoil her illusions.

Exercise is your king, and nutrition is your queen. Together they create your fitness kingdom.

There is nothing more attractive than a man who is not a New Man.

ISIS, in some cases like Paris, may actually try to direct. But what it's really trying to do is inspire. So its directed activities are these inspired attacks.

Appeasement is feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last.
