I thought the more famous I became, the more friendships I would have, but the opposite was true.

I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do.

All I can promise myself and everyone else is that this record is a snapshot of thisperiod in my life. It will be that by default.

There is no better feeling than when you write something you know is a piece of you and that, at some point, is going to communicate with someone else.

I see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament.

There's a continuity between what I care about in any form: I care about it in my music, in article-writing, in how I dress, in how I live, in my relationships, in how I navigate paparazzi, how I decorate my home. There's such a continuity between everything that I don't really care what form it shows up in.

You are a worksmith and who cares for his brothers, whos not seduced by illusions or fair weather friends.
