My life isn't necessarily more important than anyone else's: I'm just better in talking about it.

I'm really good in pain. I snapped my leg in half on stage and played a whole show. But I can't sit there with someone that loves me.

Sometimes the world seems like a big hole. You spend all your life shouting down it and all you hear are echoes of some idiot yelling nonsense down a hole.

If you wrap yourself in daffodils I will wrap myself in pain...

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

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.

You aren't really writing about what you did; you're writing about how you feel.
