The songs that give you the most trouble become your best songs.

I think that in school I was really shy. And even today when people meet me they are shock to see just how not-crazy I am.

I think with each record, I don't know ... they're like burdens.

You go through that stage where you're coming up with the concept, ideas and all that you need to make a record. It always feels like hard labor.

It sometimes takes 6 months or more after you've written and recorded it before you can start to enjoy the experience of singing the song.

I think with the live shows it's giving you that opportunity to do something on stage that you don't normally do.

What did I get in return? Coldness and emotional detachment. You are selfish and bitter and you wouldn’t know a good thing if it fell out of the sky at your feet.

The dreadful dead of dark midnight.

Young playmates of the rose and daffodil, Be careful ere ye enter in, to fill Your baskets high With fennel green, and balm, and golden pines Savory latter-mint, and columbines.

I feel like I have to do some promotion to let the people know that the records are out there; but I kind of like the idea that it's my work that does the talking rather than me.

When lifes seems hopeless, rearrange things for a dose of dopeness.

Almost all the joyful things of life are outside the measure of IQ tests.

Think health, talk health, visualize health and better health will be your reward.

Globalization is incredibly efficient but also so far incredibly unjust.

I don't think any actors love taking their clothes off on film, unless you're an exhibitionist, which I'm certainly not.

The more you learn what to do with yourself, and the more you do for others, the more you will learn to enjoy the abundant life.
