I am not dead inside. I still care about right and wrong.

My music - that's the one area I won't let myself be pushed around. But in other parts of my life, I'm a confused mess.

A heart that hurts is a heart that works.

I don't think I'm romantic at all. I have a lot of faith in the right thing happening. I don't really hope for a lot of particulars, I just have faith that the right thing will happen most of the time.

I make music and I can't stop. It's a compulsion and an obsession and a curse.

People in L.A. don't have to brace themselves against the cold; they slack off permanently, and their brains turn to mush.

I want to paint. That is probably going to sound so pretentious coming from someone who's been a musician.
