I know that human beings are better together than they are apart, as much as I fought that all my life.

Every day is the start of something beautiful.

It's amazing, the look in your eyes, like you could save me, but you won't even try

Music for me is this thing that's sort of saved my life over the course of my whole life, whether it be writing songs or listening to other people's stuff.

The only way I get back to my center is either by talking to my wife or by spending time by myself.

The thing that makes me feel most alive would be when I'm hanging out with my family and feeling my connection with them and feeling safe and content in that.

I just want my kid to not hate and to be a good human. That's what you try to do. You hope that they are the next evolution of your thing.

When I play, I open up. I'm in the heat of the performance and it's a healing thing. It's great!

When I was a kid I just had headphones on all the time, and it changed the way I see things and the way I interpret things.

I think I feel vulnerable most of the time. I feel on guard. I've gotten pretty good at putting my fists down and kind of allowing the world to be, so that I don't feel threatened as much.

I have a strong desire to connect. And so when I don't get that, I leave that situation feeling particularly wounded.

I hope that I can make music that helps people in some way or that they can connect with, and that I can just live a life where I'm surrounded by people that I love.

If wrong decisions, both from a governance perspective and ethics, happen, this is a slippery slope that we will go down. Unless and until you recognise this, you will not take the right decisions.

All of society is built to prop up that lie, the whole world a big, noisy puppet show meant to distract us from the fact that at the end, you'll die, and you'll probably be alone.

I don't have any money to hire actors. I just need to get people who are going to do a good job being themselves.

Life is not to be bought with heaps of gold; Not all Apollo's Pythian treasures hold, Or Troy once held, in peace and pride of sway, Can bribe the poor possession of the day.

I had three jobs in college. The best day of my life was when I paid off my student loans, on my own.

Eternal vigilance is the price of sexual confidence.

. . . dogma is less useful than cow dung. One can make whatever one likes out of it, even revisionism. . . .

The rose does best as a rose. Lilies make the best lilies. And look! You - the best you around!
