Acknowledging the lucky breaks are paramount to enjoying life. Not being defensive about our successes/failures. So, in short.

The idea that things intrinsically were just better is so stupid to me because they never were. It's all relative.

I miss that moment when you're about to go through the tube turn-style but you put your ticket in the wrong way and then as you're trying to figure out how exactly to get in the damn station you hear a collective sigh of 40 people behind you pissed that you're slowing down the herd.

I don't believe in the myth of the "self made man". Nobody gets through alone.

Getting out on stage and playing music for people feels great when people are cheering for you, that's obviously really exciting. But what's most exciting is the idea that we're all experiencing something that's bigger than us.

I think books are just a great ticket to get you outside of yourself. You can not be you for a second and live in the shoes of a character, which is a special thing.

There's going to be ups and downs and that you have to be okay with the downs too and embrace them just as much because they will teach you something.
