It's amazing to think that there must be this river of ideas constantly rushing inside of a person, and once you've somehow found a path into it, then it's just there, whether you will it to be or not.

I've found that writing and playing music has so little to do with will, and so much to do with just finding what's there waiting for you.

What most people call "chaos" is actually incredibly predictable and maddeningly boring - greed, close-mindedness, warring over power.

When it's time to write a new song, anything that you thought you understood last time is pretty much pulverized.

I love love. Growing up, I always thought it was a state, and I'd wait for it to appear. Now I think it's an activity, a skill, something you strive to create. A constant conversation between emotion and imagination and flesh.

I've learned it's a human responsibility to create fun, not just wait for it.
