When you write a song, the goal is not to convey the details of your life. You should write a memoir or something if that's what you're going to do.

Everything must belong somewhere. I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.

A kid that picks up a record, he doesn't need to know anything other than the music and have it in his or her headphones. They're getting ideas directly, it's like someone whispering in their ear. That's such a personal way to receive information.

You should never be embarrassed by your trouble with living, because it's the ones with the sorest throats who have done the most singing.

I started to sink like the moon tends to do if you stare at it too long Then you blink and it's gone.

I think in a lot of ways unconditional love is a myth. My mom's the only reason I know it's a real thing.

In a coma, you don't dream, you just hope that someone sits with you.
