I had a very erratic career. I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know?

There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.

It strikes me there's a bunch of people in power who have really strong intentions of running the world and adjusting the world to exactly how they see it.

I'd love to have a hit record. I don't believe anyone that says they wouldn't like that.

In certain ways I still feel like I'm finding my way. I feel pretty comfortable playing acoustic guitar and singing, but then I feel pretty good sitting on a reggae groove as well.

It's frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it's just so difficult to cut through.

I like to let the songs speak so that they can go through some kind of rebirth as you play them.

I do like writing songs in a band. When it's rock, it's such a different kind of dynamic, obviously.

I used to drink a lot. I had to stop drinking because it was getting the better of me, and I replaced that with really doing shows.

Sometimes there's a general arc that you want to try and get better the longer you do something.

I just found over the years that it's very hard to change people's perception of what it is that you do.

None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.

After all we'd been through, we still couldn't take our heads from out of our asses or our hands from around each other's throats.

All music has a message and a spirit behind it.

Plus the public's attention span is so short right now, if a skater doesn't strike while the iron is hot... well it's not like people will forget you, but they just won't care anymore.

No pecuniary consideration is more urgent, than the regular redemption and discharge of the public debt: on none can delay be more injurious, or an economy of time more valuable.

Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence.

Biblically speaking, to hear and not to do is not to hear at all.

I am often criticized for spending too much time off the ice, but if you were in my shoes, you'd see how necessary it is.

I grew up writing about the paranormal, and I blame too many Saturday mornings watching Scooby Doo.

You can only recognize your happiness against the background of suffering.
