For me, even if I'm not a fan of the band in general or maybe it's not the style of music I want to put on for my daughter and me when we're waking up in the morning, there's always something that I can learn from it. And I think those are the things that are surprising.

Nothing stays together without a fight.

I wanna be a part of the generation that throws out money, throws out time, throws out all that we are against something bigger than ourselves.

I think of myself as more of a lover rather than a fighter, but sometimes you have to fight for what you love.

Why is it that everything is collapsing if gravity is pulling us together?

I think that we’re a culture that runs away from death, for good reason. Nobody really wants to think about the fact that we’re going to be lifeless food for worms in a coffin someday. But at the same time, I feel like knowing that you’re going to die can be an incredibly rewarding, powerful knowledge. It inspires us to live in ways that we wouldn’t if we were ignorant. I feel like that has inspired me to care about every breath. For me it’s not a morbid curiosity, it’s just wanting to make sure that every moment I have here on the Earth while I am breathing is accounted for.

Hope is not a substitute for pain. Hope is in spite of pain.
