I wish I had more time to sit down and be a little bit more normal.
I went to college as a theater major. But after about three weeks of that, I changed to the school of fine arts as a painter.
I was playing in bands before high school even. My first band I was in at 14. And we were playing just Beatles.
Mystery’s a thing not easily captured, and once deceased, not easily exhumed.
One road was simple acceptance of life, the other road offered sweet peace. When I made my decision, my vision became my release.
As we hang beneath the heavens, and we hover over hell, our hearts become the instruments we learn to play so well.
In the time it takes us to look beyond the lies, we could be sailing in each other’s eyes.
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow, burning lines in the book of our lives. Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow, I’ll be in love with you.
You’ve got to just follow your heart and do your best work. For better or worse, I have followed my heart. There is no doubt in my mind or heart that everything I’ve done is exactly what I intended to do.
You think you’re winning, but it’s hard to say sometimes.
The meanings get lost and the teachings get tossed and you don’t know what you’re going to do next.
Lessons learned are like bridges burned you only need to cross them but once. Is the knowledge gained worth the price of the pain, are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?
I’m a child of the woods. I have that sort of sensibility.
The outlet for my sorrow, that I do feel deeply, and the pain, is the songs. That’s where it goes.
The dogs, and home, privacy is my constant.
Tennessee helps me open up. I’m much more vulnerable there, more willing to talk about anything.
Phoenix was a tougher record, a little more commercially accessible record.
People who listen to my records expect the ballads from me. The rock ’n roll is on there because it’s another mode of expression.
Longer is not my best song, it’s just a classic love song, and every songwriter always dreams of writing a classic love song.
It’s only an interim trip. I love the music, but it’s really giving me a way in which I can comfortably explore my art.
