“To have nothing to say and to say it in a tragic manner is not the same thing as having something to say.”

“Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.”

“Say the opposite, say the opposite, say the same thing, say the same thing. (song/refrain on "The Show").”

“There's all the difference in the world between having something to say, and having to say something.”

“Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.”

“Wise men speak when they have something to say, fools speak because they have to say something”

“Start to see the things people say and do to you as less about you and more of a perfect reflection of the tragic relationship that they have with themselves.”

“Have something to say; say it; and stop when you’ve done.”

“Sometimes you say things in songs even if there's a small chance of them being true. And sometimes you say things that have nothing to do with the truth of what you want to say and sometimes you say things that everyone knows to be true. Then again, at the same time, you're thinking that the only truth on earth is that there is no truth on it. Whatever you are saying, you're saying in a ricky-tick way. There's never time to reflect. You stitched and pressed and packed and drove, is what you did.”

“Blessed are they who have nothing to say, and who cannot be persuaded to say it.”
