The only thing I can really trust is my own self-indulgence.

And things are never okay. It does get better I guess, in that you grow to love yourself if you're lucky. But it doesn't get better because life is hard, and people aren't always nice.

I used to wanna change the world. Now I just wanna leave the room with a little dignity.

If you want to see magic, love someone and see the magical transformation.

We must not wish anything other than what happens from moment to moment, all the while, however, exercising ourselves in goodness.

I used humor as survival, as a weapon and as comfort.

I do trust women. I have a lot of women in my life. I have a mother. I have a woman. There's a lot of women around me. And I do trust them. And they trust me, as far as I know.

I wanted to be like my heroes, but I also wanted to be me.

I'd take 12 guys who had a strong passion for the game over 12 guys who don't respect the game.

I really do love pop. I understand songwriting, I understand the business, and I'm not stuck in any one particular time period.

Some people who are creative are not reliable and vice versa; some see big pictures while others see details, etc. All of them are important to have on well-orchestrated teams.

Being in Christ, and united to Him, is the fundamental constitution of a Christian.

A lot of the time there is a lot of melancholy in the lyrics.
