I started playing in bars when I was about 15 years old, and there are things that I saw early on that really shaped who I am.

Any of the rewards or accolades or any of that are very nice and everything but the music is what saves me. And it did. I would write my way out of any kind of depressing period.

I really tend to write in retrospect.

Ill never be, like, sippy cup country, or write about everything I do around the house.

Pictorial art is relating tones to create beauty - like chords of music - not the faithful copying of the model.

Glitter is cool because that's like glam rock, but rhinestones need to die out.

I can change your life, make it so new. Make you never want to go back to the old you.

There's no perfect place, there's no wonderful utopia.
