All of my favourite albums have this incredible amount of conceptual glue to them, even if they are not telling a story.

You are gorgeous, whether you're a size 4 or 14. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you're a good person, as long as you respect others.

Don't piss your life away with suicide...it's a bullshit way out.

The way I write is that, every time I reintroduced a character, I'd have to face some kind of inner demon.

I’ve gotta get out of the basement. I’ve gotta see the world. I’ve gotta make a difference

Thinking visually is my starting point, and then the writing happens.

Let me tell you how the story ends, where the good guys die and the bad guys win. It doesn't matter how many friend you make, but the graffite they write on your grave.
