Every junkie is like a setting sun.
Sailing heart-ships through broken harbors out on the waves of the night, still the searcher must ride the dark horse racing alone in his fright.
Was he a doper or was he just a loser?
Like a mountain that's growing.
The same thing that makes you live can kill you in the end.
Most pleasures, like flowers when gathered die.
A little love and affection in everything you do will make the world a better place with or without you.
You gotta keep changing. Shirts, old ladies, whatever.
There's a lot of frustration in trying to get music out when you're the only one who hears it, especially if you have something in your head that's not normal.
My career is built around a pattern that just keeps repeating itself over and over again. There's nothing surprising about it at all. My changes are as easy to predict as the sun coming up and down.
Listen to your own voice. Don't listen to someone else's. To me the way to live is to always move forward - to keep searching for whatever it is that interests you.
I get into each thing I do, to the point where nothing else matters. I guess I'm an extremist.
I always play more than I talk, so the more I talk, the more I'll play.
My dad passed away...and suddenly I found myself at the top of the tree and looking at the sky instead of at my mom and dad.
