"In one week Ill be thirty. Three-zero. Older than my Dad was when I was born. Older than Napoleon was when he ... did something that was probably extremely impressive at the time – Im not a historian. Im a composer. Sorry, a "promising young composer." I should have kids of my own by now, a career, but instead Ive been "promising" for so long Im afraid Im starting to break the fucking promise."
"Chubstitute (a name for a fat substitute)"
"Break of day, the dawn is here / Johnnys up and pacing / Compromise or persevere? / His mind is racing / Johnny has no guide / Johnny wants to hide / Can he make his mark, if he gives up his spark? / Johnny cant decide"
"I want to write music. I want to sit down right now at the piano, and write a song that people will listen to and remember. And do the same thing every morning for the rest of my life."
"Im not mad that you got mad when I got mad when you said I should go drop dead."

"Lets open up a restaurant in Santa Fe / Oh, sunny Santa Fe would be nice / Well open up a restaurant in Santa Fe / And leave this to the roaches and mice"
