I built you a sandcastle because you're a princess, but I tore it down because I'm a loser.

Someone invent a NO LIFE alert so you can push a button and tons of people show up and hang out with you.

There is no old Adam Young, there is no new Adam Young, merely different colors and different brushstrokes over the same canvas.

Writing music is like tasting the sky. It keeps me dreaming in color.

I really do like surprises. I'm not so talented at planning things out or having schedules before or sticking to the plan per se, but yeah I'm very much a spontaneous guy and it's sort of hard for me to multi-task and to have all these things going on at once.

It's very cool for me to be able to get in an airplane and fly for fourteen hours and show up in a place I never thought I'd ever be and have kids in the same room singing these songs I'd written so far away. To me, that's so surreal.

Usually, whatever's in front of me is what I'm focused on and it's 100% on that and then I kind of move from one thing to the next. Like, if I go to a restaurant and I order food, I always just eat one thing at a time.
