I don't feel too comfortable talking about politics and media as I feel like I don't sound too smart.

If you're conscious you must be depressed, or at least cynical.

I have a bad habit of picking up books about drugs, but that's better than having a drug habit, I think.

I think that love is just as important and prevalent and real as it ever was.

Even big-bird gets sad sometimes

We like being ridiculous and I think that's lost on a lot of people, or they think we're coming from this super serious angle, and that's too bad, really.

Usually when I write lyrics I try to read a lot and listen to a lot of other stuff. Some of my favourite lyricists are like Lou Reed, kind of the classics - Bob Dylan and stuff like that.

I think things like YouTube and Twitter are really cool and really good in some ways, but the fact that the news is cutting to a YouTube clip on national TV, I think is really weird.

It's not like we wanted to get really political in terms of specific causes, but I think a lot of the lyrics deal with paranoia and feeling like "the man" is in control somehow.

FACT!: I wanna live in a castle.

Maybe we're just stupid and don't realize you can't make music that sounds like a chase scene from a 'Scooby Doo' cartoon and have people take you seriously.

As long as you're not hurting anyone or anything, including your future self, do only that which makes you happy.

What is important is to spread confusion, not eliminate it.

If you watch your pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves.

You can't wring your hands and roll up your sleeves at the same time.

Your heart is alive. Keep listening to what it has to say

Give tribute, but not oblation, to human wisdom.

To lose is not always failure.

Our identities are as fluid as our personal experiences are diverse.

I've never turned over a fig leaf yet that didn't have a price tag on the other side.

That has been challenging but also such a pleasure to branch out and do different things.
