American singer (1976-2017)
I always wanted to be a rock star. That was my childhood dream. That's what I told everybody I was going to be when I grew up.

If we look outside ourselves to find love and peace we will ultimately fail. It has to come from within.

I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear

We always have written about our lives, and that should just be enough. We don't need to find some new thing. Life is always throwing these curveballs at you, whether they're good or bad -- it just happens. And eventually, what I've found is, especially with the bad stuff, 'cause that's the stuff that sticks to me a little bit more, coming out at the other side and being, like, 'Man, I'm a better person because of that.' Or, 'I'm more compassionate because of that.' Or, 'I feel like I can understand people or humanity a little bit differently, 'cause I've been through some pretty crazy stuff.' And that's a positive. So finding a positive in all these things, that's what we always try to do.

Forgot to bring clothes with me for after the show. Ben chillin in my undies a robe and a pair of Chuck Taylor's. Customs loves me.

You can't be afraid of people willing to hurt you, cause if you fear life, then you will never live.

Few artists create music so pure it brings me to tears.

I have been able to tap into all the negative things that can happen to me throughout my life by numbing myself to the pain so to speak and kind of being able to vent it through my music.
