If you wanna get to heaven, get out of this world.

Whenever I have a bunch of tunes written, I always find a kind of uniform that accompanies the songs.

Maybe love won't let you down. All of your failures are training grounds and just as your back's turned, you'll be surprised... as your solitude subsides.

It's amazing how quickly things start to change when you haven't slept. Your memory goes. Physically, you don't feel well. Emotionally, you're all over the place - you know, if you miss one night of sleep. You can only imagine five nights of not sleeping. I was in an alternate state of reality.

I think life is the most important thing and you have to live that first and then you're art comes second.

I tend to work well within a deadline. If I know I have to get something in three weeks, I tend to A, enjoy myself a little bit more, and B, really work well.

I think you kind of lose the human aspect when you make things too perfect.
