I'm always gonna be in opposition no matter what, but I can still cover my bases and do what I like.

The things that keep me awake at night are things like textures and instrumentation and plotting out what things are going to do and what the sounds are that I'm trying to capture.

There's always room for improvement. I'm always focused on the results, and those are the precise things that I don't really experience as a part of the performance.

I dont think I threw myself into music because I had the best intentions; it was because I was really angry.

I always wanted to get into rock music so I could cover up my real personality, change my voice, and create a false self to hide behind.

I love everybody. You have to embrace all facets of humanity; love and accept everyone as being part of yourself.

I get to live down my reputation for being cantankerous if I slowly evolve towards being a really good live show.

I'm not dissatisfied, just not satisfied in an ultimate sense.

I never see songs as permanent. I'm always in a state of revising everything.

My goal is to make something special and pure, and that keeps me going, keeps me busy on the path of sobriety.

I procrastinate, and I push writing to the last available moment, because I don't like to settle on anything. I guess you can call it indecision or you can call it holding out for inspiration.

Remember, people who peek through keyholes have to expect an occasional poke in the eye.

The past is one evil less and one memory more.

When I practiced, I practiced to get it right.

My mom can still slap me silly and my dad still threatens to ground me.

God's light is real, it is available to all. It has the power to soften the sting of the deepest wound.

I like doing a challenging class because it makes me more brave in life. My perception of hardships is now completely different. I'm not whining and moaning inside as much.

When soul rises Into lips You feel the kiss You have wanted

All the roles I play, I don't see any of my roles in films that they're typically leading men.

The qualities we possess should never be a matter for satisfaction, but the qualities we have discarded.

I'm not into the culture of complaint. I roll up my sleeves and somehow I get it together.
