I know that sounds cliché, but mostly from my own experiences and things I see around me. We're all human beings, and a lot of the things I write about are pretty universal things.

My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who I am.

You got nothing to lose. You don't lose when you lose fake friends.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes.

I don't give a damn about my reputation. You're living in the past, it's a new generation.

I will not serve God like a labourer, in expectation of my wages. Rabia

If everything was perfect in your life won't it be a predictable one. Life is unpredictable chaotic and madness but that's what makes life interesting won't you agree?

The dreariest spot in all the land to Death they set apart; with scanty grace from Nature's hand, and none from that of Art.

The brain stays up all night telling stories while we sleep. We just call them dreams.

I don't get cast for every job and I understand that.

An 'almost gospel' doesn't raise a corpse.
