How come everything I need always comes with batteries?

The tweets are getting shorter, but the songs are still 4 minutes long. You're coming up with 140-character zingers, and the song is still 4 minutes long…I realized about a year ago that I couldn't have a complete thought anymore. And I was a tweetaholic. I had four million twitter followers, and I was always writing on it. And I stopped using twitter as an outlet and I started using twitter as the instrument to riff on, and it started to make my mind smaller and smaller and smaller. And I couldn't write a song.

If you had started doing anything two weeks ago, by today you would have been two weeks better at it.

I believe that my life's gonna see the love I give returned to me.

I may have taken someone through the wringer psychologically, but I've never been sinister.

I want to be the first guy from my generation who doesn't just represent one record but the promise of a lot of them.

I knew what I wanted to do when I was 13 and I had to go through four years of high school to get out. That's a blessing, because I never had to lay on my bed staring up at the ceiling going, 'What am I going to do with my life?'
