 Certain things in life are more important than the usual crap that everyone strives for. |
| Time will take your money, but money won't buy time. |
| You have to choose whether to love yourself or not. |
| I think people are isolated because of the nature of human consciousness, and they like it when they feel the connection between themselves and someone else. |
| Sobering up was responsible for breaking up my marriage. That's what it couldn't stand. |
| We all have to face pain, and pain makes us grow. |
| I don't take compliments very easily. I think most musicians suffer from low self-esteem to some extent. |
| I started being a songwriter pretending I could do it, and it turned out I could. |
| I was in chemical jail. |
| Americans work a long away ahead of themselves because of the size of the place. To make any impact at all you have to promote yourself with live performances ages before a release. |
| It's probably foolish to expect relationships to go on forever and to say that because something only lasts 10 years, it's a failure. |
| The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time. |
| If the gig's going really well, I'm incredibly happy on stage and really feel good about my life and things. |
| If I were to try to identify a turning point I'd say that was it - getting clean. |
| Knowing when to quit is probably a very important thing, but I just am not ready. |
| I believe musicians have a duty, a responsibility to reach out, to share your love or pain with others. |
| There'll come a writing phase where you have to defend the time, unplug the phone and put in the hours to get it done. |
| If you're an addict, it controls your life and your life becomes uncontrollable. It's boring and painful, filling your system with something that makes you stare at your shoes for six hours. |
| I was a functional addict. |
| Fortunately, it doesn't seem to have made a lot of difference to my audience that I'm as bald as a billiard ball! |
