The idea that I would ever end up on David Letterman or Jay Leno is horrifying. I am such a freak in comparison to most other twenty-five-year-old guys. I have no idea what other people are thinking. I’m not really in touch.

I'd prefer 1,000 followers, friends, and fans that actually meant something, rather than 10 million that weren't engaged.

If you're walking the path of the dreamer, everything is possible.

I don’t think [Requiem for a Dream] is for children, but I think if you went home and looked at the video games that your kids are playing, you’d be much more shocked.

It's not only music. It's not only art. It's a community. It's a sense of having a place to belong.

I just think it's really important to be yourself and not trying to be something you're not.
