"In the silence of the night, the stories we tell ourselves become the truths we live by."

I’m a catalyst for change. You can’t be an outsider and be successful over 30 years without leaving a certain amount of scar tissue.

The only way you can write the truth is to assume that what you set down will never be read.

Every song has its own story, and every story deserves to be told.

The true poet is the one who inspires.
