Overconfidence comes from fear and doubt, and you boast an ego when you're feeling less than.

I used to think the only way to be truly alive is to confront your mortality.

I feel you see every crack and bruise with black and white [pictiures] and color distracts usually from the honesty.

You want to love unconditionally everything you do, or don't do it.

I have a lot of friends who come from alcoholic families, and they aren't alcoholics, because someone explained it to them. When I was in Washington DC, they really talked about the difference statistically between families that talk about drug addiction and ones that don't. The kids that can say "I see where this is going" have a much better chance of not becoming addicts, because they have been educated.

Selling my soul would be a lot easier if I could just find it.

The more confident you are, the more you can let go and believe that the people you've chosen to be in your circle are able to do what they say they're going to do and what they're really good at. It has made me a better band member, too.
