I think I am a very kind person. I think I'm joyful, but I could be kinder and I could be more joyful. I do believe peace is a state of grace, and not the absence of violence.

More quotes by Dave Matthews
I'm a very vicious critic of myself.
Dave Matthews
Because one of the properties of music is to entertain and to, I don't mean this lightly, distract us from the things that pull us down. Music should be not only a source for political ideas but also a source of hope.
Dave Matthews
I never went to college - I barely got out of high school.
Dave Matthews
I fear that our true motivation is about oil and our own flailing economy about the failure to destroy Al Qaeda and about revenge.
Dave Matthews
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles I'm coming slow but speeding
Dave Matthews
We look to our leaders once we elect them to either lead us in the right direction or at least not crush us.
Dave Matthews
To change the world It starts with one step However small First step is hardest of all.
Dave Matthews
Turns out, not where, but who you're with that really matters.
Dave Matthews
For me, in songwriting, I have a route I can take. Maybe there's some forks, I can go this way, this way. But I know those roads. I still have the experience behind me.
Dave Matthews
I have always been drawn to percussion and drums, to bass and piano, in music much more then I am drawn to the guitar and the other lead instruments.
Dave Matthews
Leave the big door open, everyone'll come around.
Dave Matthews
I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.
Dave Matthews
The melodies are always the most important part to me. I am pulled more to the groove than the chord progression. After you find the groove, you find the most simple chord progressions and then sit inside that groove.
Dave Matthews
Tomorrow is no place to place your better days.
Dave Matthews
Yorke's lyrics make me want to give up. I could never in my wildest dreams find something as beautiful as they find for a single song - let alone album after album.
Dave Matthews
Troubles, they may come and go, but good times, they're the gold.
Dave Matthews
Everyday should be a good day to die
Dave Matthews
You know she's going to leave my broken heart behind her...
Dave Matthews
We give the podium to a lot of people who shouldn't have the podium. The message that's delivered the loudest and in the most entertaining way is the one that we're going to put on because that's what we want. We want ratings more than we want to deliver information. That's just where the culture's gotten.
Dave Matthews
It's funny, I get a little quieter with time. I don't want to chase my tail and one day repeat myself and repeat myself and one day have kids going to college and not have memories that I should, because I was too busy doing my thing.
Dave Matthews
