The hardest thing to do in this business is to still be around. When music changes, when labels' resources have dried up, it becomes harder and harder to continue to make a living at this.

A fine timepiece is part of dressing like a gentleman. When I first made a little money, I bought my first watch which was a Rolex Daytona. It was just one of those things that said I was successful.

I write about moments, and I don't make blanket statements about anything because no one has all the answers; nobody's come up with a foolproof way to do anything when it comes to emotions.

There's only one thing that everyone in this world has in common: whether you want to love somebody and you want to be loved in return.

I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore.

People don't like when you point out to them and remind them that they're not very smart.

It doesn't matter the genre or type of art, if it's authentic there's an apparent beauty to it and as an artist, that's very inspiring.

I'm creating music - it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it.

I do not wear my emotions on my sleeve; I write about them.

When it's your chance to step up to the plate, just hit it out of the park, and everybody will forget about everything that came before.

I was a nerd academically. But I was also an athlete and a musician. I never wanted to be shut out of any situation. I think it was that more than anything.

I wondered what things what things became when you no longer needed them, and I wondered what the future would hold once we'd gotten past our personal tragedies and proven them ultimately survivable.

I have learned to live with it all... whatever happens ... all of it.

True patience is grounded in wisdom and compassion.

I came up with my own 'Dream Shake' I guess - the white version.

An authentically powered person lives in love. Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love.

If men must die, why not in honorable pursuit of knowledge? Far be it that our ideas of manhood should be dwarfed to the size of a golden dollar.

They have computers, and they may have other weapons of mass destruction.

Just about anybody is a big girl in a small world but you gotta believe it on the inside, that you can be bigger than the rest of it.

Everybody is looking for instant success, but it doesn't work that way. You build a successful life one day at a time.

I love the fact British men act cool whatever the situation so I'm planning to recruit there.
