I always loved music, but it's not something I thought I was gonna approach on a professional level.

It's always nice to meet friends of friends.

I like to take on a different role every time or else I make myself bored.

I like to do projects that are off-the-wall and on top-of-the-wall.

Human life is just dangerous, in general. You know, waking up in the morning, you could get hit by a car. Wherever you go, you could choke on a fish bone and die. You never know.

Only thin, weak thinkers despise fairy stories. Each one has a true, strange fact hidden in it, you know, which you can find if you look.

Father, you left me, but I never left you.
