“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.”
“I have a big heart and a small brain.”
“You will never know the exquisite pain of the guy who goes home alone. Cause without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain't as sweet.”

“I love Australian people.”
“I'm not sure what my genre is, and to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of that word. I love all types of music regardless of what box it might fit in.”
