I wish I could sing. I don't technically have a terrible voice, but it's certainly not as good as most of my friends. Whenever I hear myself on a record, it just reminds me I'm not a very good singer.

There is a dysfunctional strangeness to Los Angeles that doesn't exist in any other western city. The roads are crumbling, no-one knows what they're doing, the city government barely works.

I like the humility that comes from being hated. Hopefully some humility and compassion comes out of that.

There's something about the human brain, that it actually has a predilection towards negativity, which served us really well when we lived in an environment that was very threatening.

One simple word: ugh. Is something still considered a conspiracy if it's played out right under our noses?

I realized the universe is 15 billion years old and unspeakably complicated. I still love the teachings of Christ, but I also believe that the human condition prevents us from having any true objective knowledge and understanding of the universe.

I feel like sometimes we have to be a little less inclusive and tolerant if other people's opinions could lead to the destruction of our species.
