When I write, I tend toward melancholy, and the few times that I've tried pure joy in music, it doesn't really work that well. The joy can be through catharsis. I think that's what I do well, and observation.

Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

There are people that very strongly identify themselves as gay and then lesbian, and then I think there are a lot of people who are kind of some percentage or some version of that.

The punk-rock ethos was "Do it yourself. Anyone can do this. We're not sent from the heavens."

Love, love will be my strongest weapon

Anybody that walks can sing.
