If you're 14 and you're skinny, you can't be on the football team, basically. It's just not even really possible. But skating is something that you can do that gets that athletic urge satisfied, but you get to do it on your own terms. You can be as ballsy as you want to be. It was perfect for me.

I have no ethics when it comes to art. You just do what you can to make it as beautiful as you can.

I think perfect dates involve walking a lot, and not a bunch of driving around in cars. Ideally, you can walk together and go to a restaurant.

I do like talking with friends about big concepts, you know, the stuff that will ruin a party. To me, the party hasn't begun until we're talking about the nonexistence of God.

One thing that I've struggled with has been a certain amount of animosity toward the whole human race.

Horrible dates are when you're with people who are immature and can't really be comfortable in their own skin.

I really know so little about recording, and I'm learning as I go.
