Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

It take a joyful sound to make a world go round.

The world don't need any more songs... As a matter of fact, if nobody wrote any songs from this day on, the world ain't gonna suffer for it... There's enough songs for people to listen to, if they want to listen to songs.

Unless someone's gonna come along with a pure heart and has something to say. That's a different story.
