Art is really predicated upon the experiences that you've had in your life. You only have to share what you've consumed.

I always love to put hidden messages in my music videos, because I know there are people like me who, when they watch something, are really active, involved participants. I'm not usually a really passive listener or observer. So I do put those messages in there for people who spend a great deal of time [looking for them].

If I wasn’t making music I would probably be in the woods with a big deer….Talking to myself.

I don't know, when I was a kid, when I would see shows that changed my life, I would go to see shows where there was my mother taking us to see classic rock concerts, like Zeppelin, or when I saw Pink Floyd or when I saw, you know, when I was a little older, and I saw Nine Inch Nails, and I saw The Cure.

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

Love isn't who you can see yourself with. It's who you can't see yourself without.

So many people have tried to get happiness and serenity from outside things; it's pretty much common knowledge that is a road to nowhere. I've never heard anybody say, 'Fame made me the complete person I am.' Well, I'm sure people have said it, but nobody I respect.
