My Son Quotes

You will never see my sons in parties. We keep to ourselves and try to do whatever we have to do Picture Quote #1

I made one choice, for example, which is I’m just going to confine work to working hours. I’m not going to work on the weekend. I’m not going to be working while I’m with my son in the morning and in the evening Picture Quote #1

My songs are my hookers. I can’t worry about how they are going to be treated; they just need to bring home the bacon Picture Quote #1

I didn’t really think about the sound of my songs before I started recording things in the studio Picture Quote #1

A lot of my songs, they’re like puzzle pieces, and there’s just one way to put them together. You could, if you needed to, get the scissors out and cut up things to make them work. But I don’t want to do that Picture Quote #1

My son’s a painter. All through school his teachers tell him he’s a genius. I tell him to paint me an apple that looks like an apple before he paints me one that doesn’t. Go where you can go, but start from someplace recognizable Picture Quote #1

I really wanted to focus on my songwriting, or songwriting with other people. I wanted to go learn from other people who were really good at the classic, more traditional idea of songwriting Picture Quote #1

Training a dog, to me, is on a par with learning to dance with my wife or teaching my son to ski. These are fun things we do together. If anyone even talks about dominating the dog or hurting him or fighting him or punishing him, don’t go there Picture Quote #1

My songs are cinematic so they seem to reference a glamorous era or fetishize certain lifestyles, but that’s not my aim Picture Quote #1

The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days Picture Quote #1

I was brought up in many different cultures, moving around all the time, and I find my identity in my songs. I project the identity I want to have throughout the songs that I write Picture Quote #1

My son, beware of a plain damsel who charmeth thee, for she needeth much wile, and useth diverse weapons Picture Quote #1

When someone tells me what he or she was doing the first time they heard a song of mine, then I’ve done a good job. If my song becomes about your life, then I’m successful Picture Quote #1

Beyond hoping that someone will like one of my songs, I don’t think about how a song will be received. I just hope that, when somebody hears one of my songs, they’ll want to hear it again Picture Quote #1

I think about a storm rolling in with black clouds and I visualize the lightning and try to draw energy from that, and I think: all I have to do is beat this man until he stops moving, then I can go home to my son Picture Quote #1

When people saw what had happened to my son, men stood up who had never stood up before Picture Quote #1

If I had to give up performing, it wouldn’t bother me too much. But I couldn’t live without my writing. I put all my feelings, my very soul, into my writing. I tell the world in my songs things I wouldn’t even tell my husband Picture Quote #1

The orchestra’s an amazing instrument, but I don’t want to just arrange my songs for it. I think that might be kind of boring and a little bit overdramatic, perhaps. I’m still just having too much fun doing it my way, for the time being Picture Quote #1

I love women. I’m crazy about them. I have a beautiful wife, who’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me, and I teach my son to respect women and other people’s position in the world, whatever it is Picture Quote #1

Pain is a common emotion in many of my songs mainly because I often don’t know other ways to express it adequately. In my songs I wrestle with the things that I don’t understand Picture Quote #1

I think different musical collaborators bring out different qualities in my songs and I like that Picture Quote #1

I hate click tracks. A lot of people I know like to use click tracks. Like my son is perfect on the click tracks. It makes me to edgy Picture Quote #1

I deal with my sons like young men. If they have a problem with something, they come to me. I am the type of dad that will drop everything I am doing for them, and always tell them to talk to me about it Picture Quote #1

When it comes to music, it’s my clothes, it’s my guitar, it’s my voice, it’s my song Picture Quote #1

I never, ever used my son for publicity. He’ll have his say one day if he wants it. He’ll have the last word. He has time to defend himself Picture Quote #1

I wanna be able to stand on the stage and hold out the mic and people sing all the lyrics to my song Picture Quote #1

I draw the line at letting people into my songwriting cave. To me, that’s where the alchemy happens and where the mystery is Picture Quote #1

Im very proud that our country still produces people like my son, who choose the path less traveled; that knowingly step up to serve, even though our country is tearing itself apart with things like political machinations Picture Quote #1

I sing, not to hear the echo repeat, a shade fainter, my song! I think of light and not of glory! Singing is my fashion of waging war and bearing witness. And if my song is the proudest of songs, it is that I sing clearly to make the day rise clear! Picture Quote #1

My son is the reason why I write music. He’s the reason why everything is different for me Picture Quote #1
