The minute I spend any energy defending myself, explaining myself, or in the worst case scenario, trying to please those who are criticizing me, I will, you know, just fall off a cliff.

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.

I was just a very dark kid. My family was complicated.

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

Thank God my best friend's a therapist.

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

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.
