A lot of bands wanna do something new all the time and never repeat themselves, but I'm not so interested in that. If I feel like I can do it better the second time, I'll give it another shot.

I'm tired of watching attractive people trying to be ugly, struggling for authenticity. Why not be yourself?

Everything I do is 100% automation, which means I'm just doing it live.

What could be more experimental than me writing a straight up love song?

When I go on a nostalgia trip it's not aesthetic. For me it's about trying to recapture the smell or the feeling of something that I've experienced in the past personally.

I don't know if I have any real aspirations to be an actor. It was just something I was asked to do in sort of a friend way. And I thought, Why not?

I always write the first and last song of an album first, and then the middle just kind of happens.

When young groups put out albums, they're always forced to go through this cycle of touring and talking and flaunting and posturing and peacocking. Nobody makes me do that anymore.

The Internet nowadays is all sensationalism, and it's just terrifying when you're actually experiencing it as a person.

I don't think you should make music to make music, just to show that you can. That's the opposite of vitality.

I'm obsessed with five different things a day. It's like lightbulbs in a Christmas light chain.

I couldn't claim that I was smarter than sixty-five other guys--but the average of sixty-five other guys, certainly!

In my quest to search for knowledge, I know God, the source of knowledge.

If I had amnesia, I know I would fall in love with you all over again.

The early bird gets the worm, the rest starve.

All of the products I take help me feel like I'm getting the maximum amount out of my workouts and out of my practice work. They're a big part of preparing and recovering each week.

Love guides the stars towards each other, the world plan endures only through love.

One of the things I discover a lot in marriage counseling is the husband or wife trying to get their spiritual thirst quenched by their partner; I think that's a real common mistake that we make.

Faith, courage, optimism, looking forward, bring us new life and more life. Futility, frustration, living in the past are not only characteristic of 'old age'; they contribute to it.

I use the word totally too much. I need to change it up and use a word that is different but has the same meaning. Mitch do you like submarine sandwiches? All-encompassingly.

Whether it's boxing, basketball, or badminton, one must be ready to succeed before entering the arena...long before the lights come up.
