I don't want to be in my 'interview zone' mode. I've been doing a lot of interviews and I'm very self-aware of how I'm coming across.

I didn't want make art about the internet at all. It's a really hard subject to take on and I did not set out to do that. But, it was real and it was what was happening.

I like messing up the song, doing some improvisation. And I like running around the room with the mic.

I love karaoke; you have to wail when you do karaoke.

Back in the day, no one had digital cameras. They took these pictures of me, got them developed, and then mailed them to me.

It was really bizarre for me to go from being a very private and obscure person and then to be in any way on the internet - like having my picture or videos online.

What would I reclaim America as? I do want it to be a diverse country.

Writing music is always really helpful for me. It always reveals to me how I am feeling.

When I like a musician I want to see a picture or a video of them.

I'd been used to this idea of destructive performance art instead of a slick, good-sounding show. So, I became frustrated as I felt I'd been doing the shows wrong. That sucked.

Maybe some people are better off in obscurity than trying to keep on expanding.

Initiative without action is the same as having the mind to acknowledge a problem, but not having the heart to see it through.

My goal was to be able to be alone without food, sugar, phone, men, TV, anything and to feel O.K. about myself.

I'm so glad for the dozens of times I haven't listened along the way.

There's the disingenuous duplicitousness, but you can apply that to every politician, really.

An army, like a serpent, travels on its belly.

In the end, we are only tiny frightened animals, doing our best to survive amid other tiny frightened animals.

If I had a chance with him, I missed it. No, I didn't miss it. I threw it away.

Humankind has not evolved in its most basic instincts much beyond the caveman era. Yet every attempt to change that is met with scorn.

A philosophy may explain difficult things, but has no power to change them. The gospel, the story of Jesus' life, promises change.

Look on beauty, and you shall see 'tis purchased by the weight.
