"I just kind of lived my life naturally and did what I wanted to do."
"Really you just gotta keep chugging along and keep a positive attitude and get through all the problems. You gotta face them, otherwise you don't get through."
"You can only bite off so much, so you gotta know what you want to do."
"I don't know any other lifestyle. I get up in the morning and I really do feel that the world is my oyster, and I start that way, the same as I would if I were preparing to write a song: put a blank piece of paper up on the piano and you go for it."
"Don't tell me what to do, don't tell me what to say. And please, when I go out with you, don't put me on display."
