I meditate. Meditation helps me.
I don't know any musician, successful or otherwise, that got in it to make money. Or writer, for that matter. You get into it because you love it.
The first guitar I ever got was for my 13th birthday.
Everything looks better with my eyes closed.
I've heard from writers and musicians and fans that they think I'm underrated.
Music is a 24-hour-a-day thing for me.
You never really shake depression and that's a tough road you have to deal with.
I'm surrounded by great guitar players.
I write to be truthful in my songs, which is why I wrote what's painfully truthful about my life in my autobiography.
You're always searching for the thing to heal you, and I thought therapy would give me that. But it didn't - it just helps you recognize your demons.
I think we shape God in our own image a lot of the time.
I don't think anyone ever feels acknowledged enough.
I was more than just a moody artist.
I've been writing songs since I was 14 years old, and that's my true love.
