I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn't know how to connect with the people there.

Going outside is highly overrated.

No one in the world gets what they want and that is beautiful.

I felt like a kid standing in the world's greatest video arcade without any quarters, unable to do anything but walk around and watch the other kids play.

Video games paid for my house. What am I saying? Go ahead and keep playing!

You were born at a pretty crappy time in history. And it looks like things are only gonna get worse from here on out.

If this world isn't good enough for us then an afterlife won't be enough.

A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.

People think edges are bad, but they are really there to keep up from falling to pieces. They don't hold us back, they hold us in. They hold us together.

Having the savvy to know what you want to say, how you want to say it, and what music you want to say it over comes with time spent and wisdom gained in a music career.
