I get so frustrated with all these so-called singer-songwriters coming out and they don't write!

Like a lot of young people growing up in the middle of nowhere, I was desperate to leave my small town behind, but music reconnected me to my roots.

I'm not really that comfortable, to be honest, singing about my darkest moments.

I had a job for a year, working in a high-quality whiskey-and-wine shop.

If we depend for our happiness on another, on society or on environment, they become essential to us; we cling to them, and any alteration of these we violently oppose because we depend upon them for our psychological security and comfort.

I suspect that perfect happiness is not possible for me. I suppose if I was ever selected for eternal life - the moment I was informed - that would bring me the closest.

It's the sense of what family is at the dinner table. It was the joy of knowing mother was in the kitchen making our favorite dish. I wish more people would do this and recall the joy of life.

There is no way to happiness - happiness is the way.
