Music is its own language - if you don't speak it, it's hard to say what you're trying to do.

I'm not emaciated; I'm wiry. Most women find lean men appealing.

Don't worry about what might be...Worry about what is.

I never feel like I need to make a song that sells 5 million copies; that's not the point of why I make music. It's great if that happens, like it did with 'Clarity,' but my goal is to always make a better track than the last one.

A man who trusts in luck better have plenty of it.

There is magic in patience, you know.

I'm my own artist, and I see artists as movies. No one should try to change them for anything. If you don't like it, you just don't follow it. And if you don't like a movie you don't watch it. Watch another movie.
