I want to write songs that are so sad, the kind of sad where you take someone's little finger and break it in three places.

What I want people to recognize is that we have to keep working together and take charge because we all have the same story.

The work ethic at art school is completely different than the work ethic amongst people who get into music. People who paint, it's an honorable thing to spend all day and all night in front of your canvas - that is the romantic vision of the painter.

Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built out of longing great wonders have been willed they're only little tears darling let them spill and lay your head upon my shoulder.

I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.

There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.

I am the captain of my pain.
