Grace is what matters. In anything. Especially life, especially growth, tragedy, pain, love, death. About people, that's what matters. That's a quality I admire very greatly. It keeps you from reaching for the gun too quickly it keeps you from destroying things too foolishly it sort of keeps you alive and keeps you open for more understanding.

I sacrificed my anonymity for my father, whereas he sacrificed me for his fame.

In love we are all brothers and sisters

She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever.

A tune has to resonate with whatever is happening around it.

Music is my mother and my father it is my work and my rest...my blood...my compass...my love.

I just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life.

I like a spirituality with a God that knows how to drive a car, that knows how to take his girl to the dance club, dance all night, have a little drink, kiss the kid when they come back in and go to sleep. God doesn't need a chauffeur-- he needs to drive himself.

Your soul can fly outward, stringed to your ribcage like a shimmering kite in the shape of an open hand. Be still and listen to the evidence of your own holiness.
Jeff Buckley

To do something that will just fly away is kind of special. Every time somebody tell you they love you, that I love you flies away, and you wait until the next one.

I've already created my own thing.

I have no advice for anybody except to, you know, be awake enough to see where you are at any given time, and how that is beautiful, and has poetry inside. Even places you hate.
Jeff Buckley

I'm convinced I got signed because of who I am. And it makes me sad.

My favorite kind of music is the stuff that stops time. You put something on to sit there and let an experience go through you. To look at yourself clearly through a song. It's true of all art, all mediums, but for some reason music has a direct line straight into people.

I love anything that haunts me...and never leaves
Jeff Buckley

I resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that's censorship.

I don't write my music for Sony. I write it for the people who are screaming down the road crying to a full-blast stereo.

love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

If you do anything regularly for a while, sooner or later the weirdoes will show up.

I like cinematic art that doesn't have to include violence as the main meat of emotion. Now, excellence in cinema is based on murder, guns. Tarantino bores me. Even though he is very appealing and very facile about putting elements of pop culture into his work. But it kinds of dates it, right?
