When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.

When I was writing the song, I thought that these people have entire lives in there. They're not writers, but they all have stories to tell. Some are very, very down deeper than others.

I want the good life, but I don't want an easy ride. What I want is to work for it, feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips.

I know where beauty lives, I've seen it once, I know the warmth she gives.

Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.

Before I save someone else, I have to save myself.
