I guess I do feel the need to repent. I do feel like I owe the world a great album. I don't know why I feel that way. I just do.

Music is much more of a multimedia sort of thing than I expected.

There are a million things out there every single day that trigger me - songs, smells, even the season that we're in, fall. Something about the air.

It's so easy to hate something. It's harder to genuinely appreciate something.

I'm glad that, despite everything, I was able to get work done and finish something. I never finish anything. So just being able to finish record and to make music is a great gift.

A record is worth 10,000 live shows.

There are just some things that you can't deny.

All I'm trying to do is make music that people like and that makes people happy.

I am super-interested in fashion. I love being a person whose clothes get discussed. That makes it more interesting for me.

I'm like part of the Kurt Cobain school of writing lyrics, which is the syntax of the words is more important than... is where it all comes from.

Focus on progress, not perfection.

I had a maternal instinct once, it lasted 48 hours

If I ever loved a man better than I love my art, I should marry him and leave the stage. But I have never met such a man.

If you're unhappy, what is it in your life that you're not facing?

The pulpit is not a place to settle scores, it’s a place to preach the word of God.

I love you enough for the both of us. And there must be something about me worth loving. If you would just try.

Set aside predictable, regular times to give full attention without being distracted by other concerns while also creating a safe, familiar place for baby to spend time playing alone.

Perhaps I’m tired of waiting for something I may never find.

People in general would rather die than forgive. It's THAT hard. If God said in plain language. "I'm giving you a choice, forgive or die," a lot of people would go ahead and order their coffin.

The fight world is definitely a masculine thing, but I think it's pretty masculine if someone can avoid a fight also.
