I don't get a rush from anything. I did music as hard as I could. Acting for me at least, is a far more restrained performance than music. It requires a lot of skill and discipline. I'm not any good at it but I enjoy trying to be good at it.

August, the summer's last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor.

Youth is fleeting and life is short, you might as well strike hard. Anything else is just average.

It's hard to get people at a record company to talk about music. They don't seem to want to talk about music, it's all marketing, and that's part of a record, you gotta get it out there, people have gotta hear it, but you could do it in a way that's not repulsive.

The most interesting place by far was Afghanistan. Just because it is a place that I cannot see myself living. The hardness of the people and the history of the country is just so completely intense.

Strength is the product of struggle, you must do what others don't to achieve what others won't.

Human beings should not be reduced to a state to where they almost get into a fight over a small bar of soap.
