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

I'm so busy trying to breathe through the pain that I'm breathing through the pain of being with people, and that is no way to spend a life. Eventually, they'll just go away, because you will make them sad. That's something I've proven quite adept at doing over the years.

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

We waste a lot of our lives sometimes. There are people sitting across from us who would make the whole world better if we spent more time with them in it, but we can't get across that gully.

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

All my songs are where I am.

I'm not a spiritual person at all, but I do think that the world doesn't have to be as lonely as it is.
