I cry all the time. Music makes me cry.

I like to think that my music allows people that cathartic cry.

I've always said music should make you laugh, make you cry or make you think.

Consolation of music is different from the one of words. It starts from the inside... It cries with you instead of telling you to stop crying.

I almost never cry, and it's something I don't like about myself. I sometimes try and make myself cry. Sometimes, when I'm in pain, I say if I could just cry it would make it so much easier.

If I cry, it's because I'm very angry and I can't do anything about it because I've run into a dead end. That's when the tears would come down.

Like I can't cry for myself so I will let this song take all of the things inside I can't let anyone else see and offer it up, as if the sound were some kind of god, and my pain is some kind of sacrifice.

I blub all the time, in the most weird situations - not in the ones that should make me cry. Music makes me very emotional.

The way I work emotionally is: I don't ever try to cry. I try not to, which is what for me produces organic emotion.

Recently, I was preparing to sing Springsteen's 'If I Should Fall Behind' for a wedding and was unable to get through it without tears. My wife handed me 'Love You Forever.' I read it. I cried. But that cry somehow cured me of crying while singing the song. Go figure.
