Why should I worry? Why should I care?There's just this street population, and I've got 'street savoir-faire'.
You better believe there will be times in your life when you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool. So take it from me: you'll learn more from your accident than anything that you could ever learn in school.
You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money.
Who was wrong? Who was right?It didn't matter in the thick of the fight...
We were sharp... as sharp as knives. And we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives...
We came in spastic, like tameless horses. We left in plastic as numbered corpses.
I definitely prefer being a lover than a fighter.
It's not just the market fluctuation. It's also what's going on with these big companies. Everyone's got questions about this.
It's okay if you mess up. You should give yourself a break.
Don't be afraid to try againEveryone goes southEvery now and then.
It's awful hard trying to make love long distance, but I really need stimulation.
We might be laughing a bit too loudBut that never hurt no one.
There are certain artists who have taken it upon themselves to save the world, and I find that gets tiresome. I think the artist's first obligation is to the art, not to the issues . . . I think if I have something to say the best way to do that is just to tell a damn good story.
I always wanted to try to be a teacher even before I was in the music business. I liked history, and good teachers made an impact on me.
