I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano

If I were to imagine myself as an idler wheel inside some big mix of gears, then I would be connected to everything. It's not like there's just me and then nothing.

I still don't know what Episcopalian means.

Dreams can be deceiving, like faces are to hearts.

Just tolerate my little fist tugging on your forest chest

My whole life, people have been saying, "Why are you so angry?" and I didn't know what the hell they were talking about. After I saw myself at the MTV Awards, I realized, Wow, I do kind of come off a bit intense. I wasn't upset at MTV at all - I didn't mean to come off that way. But I think it's good if I appeared a bit angry. People are too complacent.

I'm a really good parent to myself sometimes, and I do things that make me learn and grow.
