I am always thinking music.

If you live up against train tracks, it can make your life a living hell.

Bands-- enough with the crayon face-paint-- you're better than that.

I do feel like at the end of anger I have to have something that grounds it.

Some people never need to let up at all.

I've dreamed about performing songs, songs that don't even exist, as a complete song.

I know that the dream mind is irrational, but I like to think that if I hear something in a dream that's really good, then it's irrational... but it's not crazy.

I actually dream a lot of songs, and I try to be good about voice-memoing ideas.

There's a definite machinery behind everything that a band does, and sometimes it's hard to figure out how far to go in delegating certain responsibilities and staying COMPLETELY DIY.

I think I'd like to see CDs disappear. Too much plastic crap lying around. If I want some music these days, I'm gonna either get as MP3s or on vinyl.

I'm even old-school Instagram. I'm here for your "What did you have to eat today?" I'm fine with that.

The first duty of a man is to think for himself

Getting carried away is stupid, it won't get me anywhere.-Nana Komatsu

I became to understand you and all of you.

It is the savor of bread broken with comrades that makes us accept the values of war.

A true artist could and should create till the day they die. You don't ever fail as an artist until you quit being an artist.

conversation is now pretty well a lost art.

BEAUTIFUL is stark, disquieting and, quite simply, riveting. Amy Reed is an author to keep on your radar.

a church is an interesting place once you get the parson and the people out of it. Real music can get in then, and a real God! Nothing flibertigibbet about religion then.

Really, I wanted to make a movie [Valley Of Violence] about: How does violence affect people? This is a take from me on how violence affects people.
