The main thing I learned is that the more I can forget about being embarrassed when I make something, the more it is going to mean something to somebody else. I can't anticipate what it's going to be or how it's going to be perceived, so the quicker I let go of something I make, the better.

The sublime moment seems to be only a product of allowing yourself to get through, to get to a lot of stuff in your life, write about a lot of stuff and not edit yourself. That is a great lesson to learn for anybody that writes or creates in anyway, to be able to make something without being good or bad.

All my lies are only wishes / I know I would die if I could come back new.

With some bands, there's a fear that if people do other things, the band is going to change and not hold it together. That's kind of sad; if you love someone, set them free, right?

What you once were isn't what you want to be anymore.

Everything alive must die. Every building built to the sky will fall. Don't try to tell me my everlasting love is a lie.

I always listen to records that I've been a part of with a grain of salt.
