A lot of times I have the song inside of me and I have to fight to get it out. I'm a very visual person, so I can see the song but I can't hear it. But I think that if your music becomes a war for it to happen, in the end there's a certain kind of aggression in the music. And I think that's a lot more interesting.

The most important thing for us to do as beings is to be aware of our position in the world on a micro and macro level.

I feel like I am alone when I am in the presence of those I love. It is so freeing and comfortable, you become one with them.

I don't know why people think I'm a Goth - that's a misconception.

The only reason I would write a break-up song is because my own problem of allowing myself to relate to people.

I guess something people wouldn't expect me to listen to are artists like Alicia Keys. But she is so incredibly talented. She has this huge voice and great work ethic, which I really respect in an artist. She is also very humble and gracious and devoted to her skill.

I like to remind myself that everything is meaningless.
