“The really frightening thing about middle age is that you know you'll grow out of it. ”

“One of the odd things about middle age...was the strange decisions a man discovers he’s made by not really making them.”

“When someone reaches middle age, people he knows begin to get put in charge of things, and knowing what he knows about the people who are being put in charge of things scares the hell out of him.”

“Life is like a movie, if you leave during the middle of it, you'll never know how it turns out.”

“When I was growing up, I didn't really know much about being popular or cliques or anything like that. In elementary school and middle school, you start to kind of realize what it's all about. There are cool kids, and then there's you, and you're just trying to figure out where you fit in.I learned a lot about acceptance and rejection,Those are the themes that you'll find spread throughout my music and weaved in throughout all of the lyrics. I really know what it's like to be accepted, and I also know what it's like to be rejected. And those are lessons I learned in Wyomissing.”

“Out of all the things about me that could frighten you, you worry about my driving.”
