But its crazy - like ten percent a year increase of children taking fucking anti-depressants. Pre-schoolers are like, the most prescribed. That makes me so mad!

Oftentimes the most produced and synth-tastic songs are the ones that end up sounding the best acoustic.

I think if I were living in a utopian world, then it wouldn't be political commentary; it would be about daffodils.

It bothers me that no one has the patience to deal with someone who is just sad.

I think every musician is different, every artist is different, and in a perfect world people would be able to pursue their own path and have the inspiration and the drive to, and the energy and dedication to take their path to its fruition. I don't really believe in formulas.

I think that every band is different, and in fact that's one of the biggest problems with the old-school music industry is that... one band would be successful according to a certain approach, and then every other band in the label gets sent down the same tube.

It's a strange life... you really don't know how you will impact people or how things will play out.
