I think that obviously the quest for purpose, or meaning, or understanding to existence is something that I always think about, always deal with. I guess everybody does - that existential crisis of human condition. It's nothing new. But I'd love to come across something that really made me believe in something.

When you look at what people consider success in the music industry, it's just terrible music.

I swear that I'm dying slowly but it's happening, and if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere... just take me there.

Let the poets cry themselves to sleep, and all their tearful words will turn back into steam.

I think it is more like a ghost that has been following us both. Something vague that we're not seeing, something more like a feeling.

I’m always fascinated when people really fervently believe, because I have such a hard time believing anything. When people have real faith in something, it’s fascinating to me. And the fact that so many people, in surveys, so many people say they do. It kind of blows my mind.

I try not to think about the idea of reaching more and more people, because once you get in that mindset, I think you lose the point of why you're doing it in the first place. Still, the best feeling I ever get is when I finish a song, and it exists, and it didn't exist before, and now it's there, and it makes me feel a certain way.
