All my songs are where I am.

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

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.

I think that, often, the people who can make you happy are right there, and having them in your life would make your life better, but you can't see how to do it.

I have a lot of problems understanding connections between people and how to negotiate that. It makes everything hard offstage.

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.

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