Closeness to another person is like a fear of falling off a building to me. It's really, like, physically painful, and it's a brand of crazy I don't appreciate having.

For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.

I find that truly heartbreaking that, like, it's such a common, constant thing in people's lives - a brutal abuse of people by other people, and it's just accepted.

Bravery is what you can do in the face of things that hurt and scare you, but you do it anyway.

There just is exponentially more money in the movie business than in the music business. As a result there are more people involved in the creative process.

I feel like I've been in love, but I have stood aside from it over and over again in my life. It's all you want, but it's terrifying.

Time and time again I can't please myself.
