Popular music sucks so bad right now.

I'm beginning to think I have two years encountering sexism without really realising it.

I've always chosen my band members based on their sense of humor. It might sound stupid, but it means not only are they fun to live with on a tour bus for years, but humor implies intelligence.

The songs keep on writing themselves, and I really love them. It's as close as I get to a religion.

Now I know I'll never be numb again. A mother is condemned to feel everything forever. And I'm finally afraid, condemned to fear everything forever. But that makes sense: feel someone else's pain, feel someone else's everything.And he's my baby, so everything's okay.

My brother and I were meditating before we were 6 years old, having to stare at the wall and chant.

You have to follow every melodic line, every emotional idea, or you don't get your money's worth.
