I'm a bit of a gunner on the QWERTY keyboard.

I either write songs on guitar, or... I don't ever have a keyboard with me, but like, my keyboard on the laptop.

I don't need to improve the look of my own if I don't even know what it looks like.

Quality is free, however - the Management Systems that proliferate it are not.

It's hard to sing really well when you're playing an instrument, but it'd be great to try and sing really well and have vocal effects and one drummer on a real drum-kit, and one on an electronic kit.

I can't write - out of all the things it takes to make music, lyrics are the thing I'm by far the shittiest at.

Because I'm always so paranoid about doing corny things, or cheesy things in music, that often I probably don't make as good music as I could if I wasn't stifling it so much.

I can't write story-songs, like I couldn't write a Bob Dylan or Tom Waits song. I can only write whatever weird phrases come into my head, and hope that they're good.

If you don’t do anything today without power

All strong souls first go to hell before they do the healing of the world they came here for. If we are lucky, we return to help those still trapped below.

I can't get through the gate. The gate is narrow.

I don't think that there's much that sets me apart from other musicians, but I think there are definitely things that set me apart from other kinds of artists.

We don't "have" a great day, we "make it" a great day!

Yes, and Syrians. There is a horrible crisis there and the United States has admitted virtually none of the refugees.

If a Christian really believed that his neighbor will be tortured in all eternity in Hell, he should try day and night to persuade him to repent and believe. How sad that this doesn't happen.

Artists don't always know. Almost every song I ever recorded that was a hit at the majors that the promotional people picked I didn't think it would be a hit. I was wrong every time!

You might as well tell God what you think. He already knows it anyway.

When I got home from The Ozzfest in September 2000 with Methods... I just locked myself in my house and I started writing.
