Znao sam da je sve moje dovedeno u pitanje. Sve — to je veoma neodređeno, ali i veoma stvarno. To je izgubljenost i bespuće, to je ispadanje sa životne staze a druga ne postoji, to je osjećanje užasa bez imena, zbog praznine i gluhog prostora što bi se mogao stvoriti oko tebe. ↗

There will always be nations. The United States will last a long, long time, I believe. France and Germany and Japan, China, other nations, they're going to exist. But they're losing their significance and ability to deal with certain matters. ↗

It is setting goals and trying to be a business person, but at the same time not losing sight of who you are writing songs for and what your goals are as a songwriter. So believe me, if you think I've got it down I don't it is a constant struggle. ↗
