Time is a beautiful thing. It's like when you meet an old lover on the street six years later and they don't look so ugly anymore.

Happiness is like a cloud, if you stare at it long enough, it evaporates.

Once there was a darkness, a deep and endless night, you gave me everything you had and oh, you gave me light

I'm so tired, but I can't sleep. Standing on the edge of something much too deep.

I've heard myself referred to as a quiet superstar, and I don't quite know what that means.

I think a lot of contemplation happens in bathtubs. It does for me. Nothing like a hot bath to ease the tension and think about what's going to happen next.

We're constantly being told what other people think we are, and that's why it is so important to know yourself.

I threw bitter tears at the ocean, but all that came back was the tide.

I've learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.

Trying to force creativity is never good.

Theres beauty everywhere. There are amazing things happening everywhere, you just have to be able to open your eyes and witness it. Some days, thats harder than others.

Its where my demons hide.

Be modest, be humble, be simple.Make sure you come in first so that you have something to be humble about.

I did all you can do with a clarinet. Any more would have been less.

Our public spaces are as profound as we allow them to be.

In playing, I suppose my greatest gift was to express the way I felt or the willingness to express myself.

Let the welfare of the people be the ultimate law.

But I don't sit down at dinner and have clever ideas.

No one could have prepared for me BBQ on pizza. I mean, both are great. But together? It was incredible.

Whatever you put aside to seek happiness, remember where you put it.

Wars are not won by evacuations.
