I made a conscious decision when I was about 17 years old to strive towards mediocrity. I completely abandoned the idea of grandeur and importance, and I wanted to be mediocre.

I have two roommates, so it's a challenge to keep the house the way I like.

If Americans could choose, would they choose to work on the infrastructure for cancer-causing oil power or would they choose to work on the infrastructure for health-reviving wind power?

It's not your circumstances that make or break your day. It's your attitude!

I just like short hair on women; I think its cool.

I'm very picky when it comes to men. I come across a man who I'm really attracted to about once every five years.

I just want to work with people, so I always try to find a way to collaborate in the best way for the music.

There is a place you can touch a woman that will drive her crazy. Her heart.

A woman should not take a lover without the consent of her heart, nor a husband without the consent of her reason.

God does something to us as well as for us through the cross. He persuades us that He loves us.

When people are putting pressure on me I just completely ignore it.
