I'm going through a phase where I'm really accomplishing a lot of things and in that is everything I've learned.

Music has always carried me through times of loneliness. So when I make music, I like it to make people who listen to it feel like they have a friend who reveals something personal to them, rather than trying to be like a god up on a pedestal

What's gone will never come back, but it exists when you think of it.

I just feel like the songs that come out are the songs that come.

That's what I spend most of my time doing, breathing a lot. I like air.

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.

For me my friendship with Omar Rodriguez from Mars Volta that friendship really means a lot to me because he's another creative person who works as hard as I do.
