As long as artists can make something, artists will continue to survive.

In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.

My hair is a wild, untamable beast! I like letting it grow; my bangs grow whatever way they want and I kind of follow their rule. So side bangs, poof bangs - it's kind of unpredictable.

People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.

I'm a Gemini, so I'm very dual. I love something and I hate it at the same time, so that probably comes out in the lyrics.

As you get older you realise that nothing lasts forever. It's not depressing, but it does make moments more intense.

I think the Yamaha has a giant quality. When you combine the Yamaha with other organs, you get this crazy rectangular sound. It's kind of flat and thick.

Sound is a very unruly thing, and you have to really respect that it's going to differ every time you play.

I personally do not listen to a lot of music. It helps keep my mind free. I don't want to sound like someone else from the get-go. I want to express myself and the world in my head.

Sometimes people talk about music, whether blogs or magazines, in a strange way where it doesn't seem like they're actually listening to it.

Yeah, it's a lot harder to find a musical partner than a love partner.

The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.

Language is always the companion of Empire and Empire . . . is one Monarch and one Sword.

I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness - it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude.

Lord, please protect me from Your people.

I never panic when I get a wasp at my ear. As soon as you strike out, they'll sting you. So just stay cool.

If someone's 20 years old and every third line out of their mouth is anti-something specific, then draw your own conclusion.

A lot of people thought I was going to be a one-hit wonder, so I had that chip on my shoulder.

The rules of soccer are very simple: if it moves, kick it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does.

Everything that you want, you are already that.

The strange machinery by which a reputation precedes its source we all know is faulty. Yet how much faith we put in it!
