It scares me to speak my mind, it might sound self-absorbed, I don't say half of what I think, I wonder what I'm thinking for

To be honest, I'm not as goal oriented and ambitious as I once was.

And I think it's a real challenge to be up there sometimes with only a keyboard if they don't have a grand piano... and to try to win people over that way. It's really hard.

Time, where did you go? / Why did you leave me here alone? / Wait, don't go so fast / I'm missing the moments as they pass

The flattery is nice, but awards don't add up to writing quality songs.

Dakin (to Irwin, his teacher): Do you really believe that, sir, or are you just trying to make us think?

I don't want to scare anybody here but we just received word from police that Howard Dean is loose and may be armed with a microphone.

America will tolerate the taking of a human life without giving it a second thought. But don't misuse a household pet.

The more games I will play, the faster I will be back on a top spot in the world rankings.
