I was a weird animal in high school, doing no work and getting straight A's.

We’re not living in an age of no hope. We are living in the age of choice, which is much scarier. It means that what we do every day matters, which is always a bummer for humans. But it’s a great thing and it’s inspirational and we need to remember that. We have a long way to go and not a long time to get there.

Doing things like playing music, something that's so natural and basic to human function, running around in nature, eating delicious food. These things are intrinsic in basic, primordial to human beings, so that's sort of a way to return to a blank canvas, allowing my true personality to return.

I was a cocky kid, and I felt like I was an adult at, like, 9. I think that's because my parents always treated me as an adult.

There's no true value placed in learning, if the point of you learning something is to simply know it for a test, to get a grade, to go to the good school.

I think I enjoy playing human beings no matter the substance of their character.

Friends that I value most are people who would essentially use physical violence against me at a time when I seem to be teetering on the edge.
