Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

And deep in my heart. The answer, it was in me. And I made up my mind. To define my own destiny.

It's nice to look back on your life and see things as lessons, and not regrets.

Unless I am both capable of and willing to reopen the wound every time I write a song, if I choose to not look inside myself to write music, I'm really not worth being called an artist at all.

My life is not a political campaign. I just write about what is on my mind. I just play whatever I feel like playing. Whatever is in my soul at the time is what I want to do. I have, thank god, enough people who are still interested in what I am doing so that I can go out and keep doing it.

This old world keeps spinnin' round; It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down.
