When we really see each other, we want to help each other.

I get really fantastic results when I just get out of my own way.

I think I've always felt as a band and as a musician and a music business person, I've always felt like an outsider, period.

Meditation, especially for people who dont know very much about it and think its this very hippy dippy thing, can really be powerful, terrifying even, as it lifts the rug up on your subconscious and the dust comes flying out.

The pattern's laid out on the bed With dozens of colors of thread But you've got the needle I guess that's the point in the end

I never wanted to grow a thicker skin; I felt a real sense of pride in my thin skin, and in a weird way, I still do, because it's my thin skin that allows me to empathize with other people. It's the thing that allows me to create vulnerable art. It's the thing that allows me to create other feelings and make songs that actually grab people and touch people. I feel like I've spent my life fighting that thicker skin because I don't want to become an embittered asshole.

I crave intimacy to the same burning degree that I detest commitment.
