I used to download a lot of music, and I understand it in this economy, but personally I buy my music. It feels good to be able to support a band you like. Plus, it'd be really hypocritical if I were still doing that, since I really hope people are buying and experiencing my music.

You have to compensate for the luck thing by working as hard as you can and doing the very best you can do.

There is that small chance I’ll get what I want; to be someone to relate to for anyone who is as alienated, awkward, spastic and passionate as me.

I think life awards you if have your priorities in the right place.

Try to overcome your doubt. Believe you are beautiful. Look at yourself through someone else's green eyes. Believe someone out there will find you and kiss your skin until you can feel it blister with the heat. Believe in something bigger than your problems and you will be saved.

It's healthy for a band to become slightly less relevant

My marriage is the most important thing in my life, but in a weird way I'm able to focus on other things more clearly by having it in my life.
