For me, moving is always a big opportunity. Its just a enough of a shift in outlook that every time I move, it seems to open something up.

Everybody is in various states of needing to transcend something. I believe in mental health care, but when we call people "crazy," we exclude them from our circle.

When you punish a person for dreaming his dream, don't expect him to thank or forgive you.

I still get really excited looking at stuff that I've seen every day for 20 years.

The possibility of disaster remains horrific to me. Like when you know everything's about to go wrong in a way that's not controllable or knowable.

There's no such thing as mental illness. We're all mentally ill and we're all haunted by something, and some people manage to find a way to ride it out so that they don't wind up needing extra help. So I think that "mental illness," as a term, is garbage. Everybody is in various states of needing to transcend something.

A bands first albums usually not great. When you made the first album, you had a day job and you were still trying to be serious about it.
