It's hard listening to myself.

It's kind of ridiculous that I find inspiration in just getting away from everything. But when you've gone through it, you realize that it's the enemy. It's a distraction from what you're really doing. You've got to keep moving. Like a shark.

Well, I sort of don't trust anybody who doesn't like Led Zeppelin.

In all my songs, I take on roles and play characters. It's a unique way to explore ideas and decisions I might not think or make in real life.

You can't be an actor in a small town-you have to go to New York or L.A.

Onstage, I don't feel any glory from people clapping in the audience, but when they're pushing me to do something new that feels good.

Maybe we should all just listen to records and quit our jobs.

Many days you will want to give up because of rejections and failures. Passion to be an artist will help you prevail where others fail.

I've always worked to find really deep meaning of song and also at the same time having it covered in sugar, so it can be taken two or three different ways.

The only things that are a little bit newer are the CD burners, but we hid them under the table, so basically we had the feeling we were somewhere completely different, in another time.

I wouldn't want to be in a Lisa episode. They're kind of boring. Maybe a Homer one would be better.

If you don’t have a struggle inside or around you, you have to make one up.

The wonderful news is that when a person with my lack of art background can be successful, then anyone can. I'm not super talented and had no art training. Nothing, nada, zip. No workshops or classes.

I trust no one who hasn’t time for music.

Promotion and perception are synonymous twins of art marketing.
Jack White The White Stripes -

I say this often, THINK. There is something in life called common sense. Webster's says common sense is sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts. Perhaps this is why in 1776, Thomas Paine used these words as a title for the most famous pamphlet ever written.

The true professional makes art when he is not feeling good, if the studio is too cold or too warm or the walls are falling down. We are painters and we paint. If I were a sculptor, I'd sculpt.

When you know your work sells, then seeking a gallery or outdoor show is fine. Then, if an event or art gallery kicks sand in your face don't give up, keep moving forward. Use your brain and eliminate a lot of your personal agony. There are times when you should not take NO for an answer. But there are others when you should never put yourself in the place to be rejected to begin with. Seek the wisdom to know the difference and then go for it. Persevere in the face of disappointment.
