Bad things happen everyday but you're not going to be any happier thinking about them. So I don't think about them.

I have taken taking my music to labels for years, and everyone just thought it was creepy. They thought the images with the music were weird and verging on psychotic.

The act of surrendering sort of puts me in a different mindset that allows me to be more of a channel - because I'm not holding on so tightly to things, I'm letting go, and I find that in letting go I become more of a channel for life to really happen on life's terms. I mean, maybe that sounds sort of metaphysical, but that's honestly how I feel.

I believe in the person I want to become.

I suppose my approach to religion is like my approach to music - I take what I want and leave the rest.

The world needs poetry now more than ever. It's the only thing that can keep music from copying itself and sounding the same.

I regret trusting The Guardian. I didn't want to do an interview, but the journalist was persistent. [The writer] was masked as a fan, but was hiding sinister ambitions and angles. Maybe he's actually the boring one looking for something interesting to write about.
