I've wanted to feel pleasure to the point of insanity. They call it getting high, because it's wanting to know that higher level, that godlike level. You want to touch the heavens, you want to feel glory and euphoria, but the trick is it takes work. You can't buy it, you can't get it on a street corner, you can't steal it or inject it or shove it up your ass, you have to earn it.

I think there is always going to be inspired music and there are always going to be inspired listeners and there is always going to be an inspired method of getting it from A to B.

I think dying is the ultimate high...

It seems like the chaos of this world is accelerating, but so is the beauty in the consciousness of more and more people.

Sometimes, out of really horrible things come really beautiful things.

In terms of having high hopes that the level of consciousness will get higher and higher, yeah.

To be 26 years old and lose your left heart ventricle was probably the most dramatic thing that's ever happened to me in my life...
