People who try to define their spirituality sometimes are annoying, 'cause the spirit is something you feel and let guide you and humbly respect.
We've changed our reflections, but inside we're just a child.
They say time will make all this go away. But it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.
Sometimes I may be totally arrogant, sometimes I may totally be the most humble guy you've ever met, sometimes I may be in between. But that's life. Who isn't like that? What's the big deal if I had an arrogant moment.
But I would never insult the people that love this music and I would never insult the blessing of music in my life and I would never insult myself by playing uninspired music.
There's something in everyone only they know.
You can't just say I love you, you have to LIVE I love you
If you're gonna live, then live it up. If you're gonna give, then give it up. If you're gonna walk the Earth, then walk it proud. If you're gonna say the word, you got to say it loud.
I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.
As long as the songs are strong, I think you can express yourself in any style and have it be soulful and have it be your own voice.
I just want to keep doing what I feel.
I love being on the road, I love playing.
I refuse to age disgracefully in rock 'n' roll.
My choice is what I choose to do and if I'm causing no harm it shouldn't bother you. Your choice is who you choose to be and if you're causin' no harm, then your alright with me.
