I get tired of talking when I want to be silent.

I think young people should travel and travel often to other countries like I do.

I live my life through the prism of capitalism and physiological limits and eventualities.

I'm always looking, people are always presenting and I have found that every year of my life there's been great bands. All over the world, all the time. So when someone goes, "Music sucks now!" I'll go, "I don't think so. Not over at my house."

Having an identity is one thing. Being born into an identity is quite a different matter.

Young, gay and stuck in Arkansas? Sounds like a horror flick.

I'm not trying to amass people in the streets. I just want them to be more aware. So many Americans, for one reason or another, they watch the news and it doesn't really give them the idea of the world. Or they don't read or travel. They have no idea that America is part of the world and not the world itself. And so anything from the travel stories I tell, that's what I'm trying to get across.
