I find sometimes it's easy to be myself, sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else.

I guess, and it may be a flaw, that I think about rhythm more [than anything else]. I'm always wanting to find something unusual. I've started to try and write more traditionally, but for whatever reason, I tend toward trying to find something that sounds more like a pattern to me.

I'm only this far, and only tomorrow leads my way.

The idea of God as a fatherly figure who looks down on us and worries about how we're doing or takes sides when we have fights - it's more irritating than Santa Claus. The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master.

A dream is a massive magic trick of the mind. No amount of science could explain away the mysterious wonder.

I'm not going to change my ways just to please you, or appease you.

I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.
