The bigger you are, the harder they come down on you
My own father had always said the measure of a man wasn't how many times or how hard he got knocked down, but how fast he got back up.

I never sit down to write. When I'm moved, I do it. I just wait for it to come. You just hear it. I can't really describe writing. It's in my head. I don't think about the styles.

A lot of people pretty much only listen to the chorus.
Don't tear other people down. Lift people up.
