I feel pretty comfortable in a lot of different musical styles. I like rhythm, and I like melody and so forth.

There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.

It strikes me there's a bunch of people in power who have really strong intentions of running the world and adjusting the world to exactly how they see it.

I'd love to have a hit record. I don't believe anyone that says they wouldn't like that.

In certain ways I still feel like I'm finding my way. I feel pretty comfortable playing acoustic guitar and singing, but then I feel pretty good sitting on a reggae groove as well.

I had a very erratic career. I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know?

It's frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it's just so difficult to cut through.

I like to let the songs speak so that they can go through some kind of rebirth as you play them.

I do like writing songs in a band. When it's rock, it's such a different kind of dynamic, obviously.

I used to drink a lot. I had to stop drinking because it was getting the better of me, and I replaced that with really doing shows.

Sometimes there's a general arc that you want to try and get better the longer you do something.

No boundary or barrier surrounds the heart of a person that loves their self and others.

I have always been afraid of banks.

If you really want to torture me, sit me in a room strapped to a chair and put Mariah Carey's records on.

Well, if you count my phone as an access point (which I do), I'm pretty much constantly online unless I'm at an event or practice or something.

Up to a certain point every man is what he thinks he is.

One of the fun things about being an actor is stepping outside yourself and outside of your own experience. It's challenging yourself to totally commit to something that in your core is so wrong.

Violence is a calm that disturbs you.

Surely there can be no greater joy than that of saving souls.

There is no idea that does not carry in itself a possible refutation, no word that does not imply its opposite.

As you get older, all those dumb clichés, they're all true. You only have a certain amount of time left, and you should only spend it doing the things that you want to do. It's all true.
