Every album is just a greatest hits of whatever songs are on a pile when I go in to make a record.

I don't try to make anybody outside happy.

The cool thing too, as you get older, you get way better at identifying who's an ally and who isn't. And who has good, positive, "let's make all this sh*t better and let's try to have fun and fix sh*t" people as opposed to "let's sit around and b*tch and berate" people.

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

For most of human history, musicians, artists, they've been part of the community — connectors and openers, not untouchable stars.

I want to be happy. i want to make people happy. i do not need to be rich to do that.

The key is to just focus on the spots where the love is real, because you can just drive yourself crazy focusing on the negativity, focusing on the relationships that are irreparable and just aren't going to work, trying to convince the haters that you are indeed lovable. So much of that is wasted energy.
