The Face That's In The Mirror When

You Do What You Do And You Pay For Your Sins And There's No Such Thing As What Might Have Been.

When You Get In The Middle Of A Career And You're Successful, People Come And Offer You Things. My Biggest Fear Was That If You Try To Do Something Else And You're Trying To Build Your Music Career, And Then You Say, "i'm Going To Go Do A Movie," And You're Terrible, You Can Really Hurt Your Music Career Because As A Musician, The Goal Is To Be Cool. You're Playing The Guitar And You're In Front Of All These People And Your Vibe Is To Be As Cool As You Can Possibly Be.

People Always Ask Me "son What Does It Take To Reach Out And Touch Your Dreams?" To Them I Always Say Are You Hungry? Are You Thirsty? Is It A Fire That Burns You Up Inside? How Bad Do You Want It? How Bad Do You Need It? Are You Eating, Sleeping, Dreaming With That One Thing On Your Mind? How Bad Do You Want It? How Bad Do You Need It? Cause If You Want It All You've Got To Lay It All Out On The Line.

The Issues That Matter To Me Are The Social Safety Nets For People, Health Care, Middle-class Concerns. We Need To Take Care Of The Middle Class And The Poor In Our Country.
