I just wanted to make a record that wasn't escapism. Like, I didn't want to write another record that was devoid of meaningful content.

The main thing I want to do is make people feel more connected and more active.

I need to start honing in on projects that I want to devote my time to and not put my energies into the unattainable ones.

It's weird how people hate getting older.

For the last three years, I've been working on 'Bromst,' and that's all that encompassed my brain. And now that it's out, it will change the way that I think musically.

I've since become really good at overwhelming myself.

It was never the goal to be a solo performer. It was just something that made the most sense at the time.

You know, most people called rap stupid when it started, and it was one of the most innovative music forms of its time.

I wanted to start working on something that had a lasting effect.

If you've become a huge act and you're still doing the same music you wrote with your friends when you were making zero dollars, you're lazy.

I throw ideas out into the open when I really should just be writing them down in a journal.

I love you silly 'holy' book. Here's hoping everybody un-reads it.

There is more to biology than rats, Drosophila, Caenorhabditis, and E. coli.

I look into my own black heart.

I do not think that I could ever really love a woman who had not, at one time or another, been up on a broomstick.

I will do whatever I have to do to reach people with the things I believe are important. Life is too short not to do everything you can.

I don't pretend to be objective. There is no such thing as being an objective journalist.

I trained 8 hours a day 7 seven days a week and I had 2 weeks off in a year.

To hell with that. If a guy can pull a big erg, I can teach him how to row.

You know, frankly speaking, money just doesn't figure largely in my world view.

I have about nine guitars in all, so obviously I'm into collecting.
