I'm a huge reggae fan. I want to go to Jamaica and make, like, Bob Marley 'One Love' positive songs. That's what the world needs.

Maybe love won't let you down. All of your failures are training grounds and just as your back's turned, you'll be surprised... as your solitude subsides.

I think life is the most important thing and you have to live that first and then you're art comes second.

I think you kind of lose the human aspect when you make things too perfect.

As hard as I try to sound tough and dark, I still sound cute.

I'm a control freak with regards to certain aspects. I think you just have to be when you're making stuff in the world. You have to have a clear idea what you want.

I write music, really, to make myself feel better.

Whenever I have a bunch of tunes written, I always find a kind of uniform that accompanies the songs.

I tend to work well within a deadline. If I know I have to get something in three weeks, I tend to A, enjoy myself a little bit more, and B, really work well.

If you wanna get to heaven, get out of this world.

I grew up on Loretta Lynn and Dusty Springfield. I remember lying about it it wasn't cool to listen to country when I was 12.

You will only be satisfied only when you are working

Love gives without expectation, while hate carries an endless tally of debts.

The psychological effects of the sun are strange: it had not yet appeared over the horizon and we already felt comforted, just imagining the heat it would bring.

Energie is the operation, efflux or activity of any being: as the light of the Sunne is the energie of the Sunne, and every phantasm of the soul is the energie of the soul.

Until mankind heeds the message on the Hebrew trumpet blown, and the faith of the whole world's people is the faith that is our own.

I'm not asking people to feel sorry for me.

I constantly say things that I regret. I mortify myself constantly.

I have seen the future, and it works.

If you want to change the world, change yourself.

If you want to be the best you have to do things that other people aren't willing to do.
