I feel like I've gotten to the point in my career and in my life where I can allow myself to write whatever comes into my head and not judge it too harshly.

Those who can ask without shame are viewing themselves in collaboration with-rather than in competition with-the world.

I nurture my close relationships like priceless lamps. That's part of why the job itself is inherently difficult and kind of a paradox, because you're out there touring and traveling and going a million miles a minute, but the things that are keeping you steady and stable can be really hard to nurture when you're going fast, and your relationships, which are the number one thing that help me through.

You know what’s really cool? Wake up every morning, decide what you feel like doing, and do it.

Take on the pain and wear it as a shirt.

Thank God my best friend's a therapist.

I don't try to make anybody outside happy.
