I can't turn off the way I think, and that's essentially who I am, who anybody is.

I realized that I started writing songs to make people feel how I felt, rather than just making them feel something. That's not the way I should do things.

These people are artists. These people are musicians. They're taking it out and trying to express it that way.

If a kid is old enough to drive a car or buy a gun, isn't he old enough to be held personally responsible for what he does with his car or gun? Or if he's a teenager, should someone else be blamed because he isn't as enlightened as an eighteen-year-old?

Nowhere in the Gospels is intelligence praised as a virtue.
