Telling what you feel, trying to talk about what's important to you, does not make you weaker.

Knowing record labels and knowing the kinds of things they would object to-they just object to everything that's interesting.

I have a 6-year-old, and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car, and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I'm really working on him about that.

Better take the keys and drive forever. Staying won't put these futures back together. All the perfect drugs and superheroes wouldn't be enough to bring me back to zero.

Save me from the ranks of the freaks who suspect they can never love anyone.

I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.

But I can't confront the doubts I have. I can't admit that maybe the past was bad, and so, for the sake of momentum I'm condemning the future to death so it can match the past.
