              “Never have your wallet with you onstage. It's bad luck. You shouldn't play the piano with money in your pocket. Play like you need the money.

              “I’ve always been a word guy, I like weird words and I like American slang and all that and words that are no longer being used… I like to drag them out of the box and wave them around… this is an interesting one, it’s amazing how in addition to punctuation just a little pause in the wrong place can just completely transform the meaning of something.”

              “This is about all the bad days in the world. I used to have some little bad days, and I kept them in a little box. And one day, I threw them out into the yard. "Oh, it's just a couple little innocent bad days." Well, we had a big rain. I don't know what it was growing in but I think we used to put eggshells out there and coffee grounds, too. Don't plant your bad days. They grow into weeks. The weeks grow into months. Before you know it you got yourself a bad year. Take it from me. Choke those little bad days. Choke 'em down to nothin'. They're your days. Choke 'em!”

              Anyone notice that at some parts in the song Singapore he sounds a wee bit like the cookie monster?

              The ocean wants a sailor, the gun wants a hand
              The money wants a spender and the road wants a man
              I turn my face to the highway
              And I turn my back on you
            • Hot!
              Soothing wounds I never knew I had.

              I like my town with a little drop of poison
              Nobody knows they're lining up to go insane
              I'm all alone, I smoke my friends down to the filter
              But I feel much cleaner after it rains
