Sometimes I feel I know strangers Better than I know my friends Why must a beginning Be the means to an end? The stones from my enemies These wounds will mend But I cannot survive The roses from my friends.

Don't be discouraged by writer's block. Writer's block just means you need to listen to other music.

The very thing that drives you, can drive you insane Got a head full of thought crimes and a number with no name Got an eleventh hour Jesus and a mouth full of blame A casket lined with silver dollars and a number with no name.

There's no room in my life for religion. Religion is separation and segregation of God. How can you segregate the Almighty?
Ben Harper
Image
Fearlessness, absolutely. Discipline. You also need open-minded creativeness that lets everything in. You never want to lose a word or a phrase, yet every one should count. Always the best language possible. And, finally, knowing when to leave it alone. Stop when it's done.

I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.

It's so hard to do and so easy to say but sometimes you just have to walk away

If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else.

It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.
