When I start writing songs and it turns into an overly belabored intellectual process, I just throw it out.

The whole idea of emotions being something we can't escape as humans, but that deep suffering that comes from resisting them, we can move out of that just by not resisting anymore. But it takes a really brave warrior soul to sit there in these emotions that admittedly don't feel good in the body.

I never regret anything I do. It's part of who I am now, and I like who I am now.

A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance.

I love songs that are very autobiographical.

I'm lost, but I'm hopeful.

Unless I really loved it and felt really passionate about it, I would just kind of abort the song and start a new one.
