Compared to people in Africa, I think we've all had privileged upbringings.

A band is a good way to break up a friendship.

Whenever I go to shows, I end up looking at what shoes the guy onstage is wearing and the jacket he's got on. And when you know everything's gonna be under scrutiny, it makes you feel more comfortable if you have cool stuff.

Make sure your heart is singing right until the day it stops.

No one leaves an old friend unless they are ashamed.

The problem with touring isn't the traveling and the shows, it's the vegetal state you get into.

It's like an inner struggle for me, between saying I don't give a **** and trying to make it work. You want to do the right thing, but I'm sick of people thinking I'm difficult.
