- Happiness is like a cloud, if you stare at it long enough, it evaporates.
- I've learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.
- We're constantly being told what other people think we are, and that's why it is so important to know yourself.
- I don't worry about much anymore. The good thing about worry is that it's like pain. When it's not there, you don't remember what it feels like.
- 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.
- My guideline for success -- and this is really, truthfully honest -- is whether I am really proud of this record [Afterglow]. If I am proud of the record, which I am, then I let it go. If other people like it, then that's a big old bonus for me.
- I was a pretty insecure kid, didn't have a lot of friends, and was picked on a lot, and music gave me confidence.
- I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery. You've got to try to find a flip-side to everything, the good side.
