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.

A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.

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.

It's impossible having five, six, seven people in a room being creative together and not fight, because you want to fight. It's the only way creativity works, if you all put your ideas in.

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.

When you're young and you play music, you have a peer group, you come out of a scene. There's a lot of people you know, and then you have some success, and it all goes away.

There is nothing more important you can ever do for this world than to wake up and be a part of it.
