I make music. It's kind of what I've always done.

If you get on the radio, people hear it, they buy the record. If you get on Spotify playlist nowadays, people hear it, they buy the record.

Music and weed go well together, obviously.

I feel like weed is still taboo enough to be cool but not taboo enough that you have to totally hide it, which is like a pretty good place for an entity to be at.

I think most people now listen to different genres when they have different moods. I know I certainly do.

There are so few barriers to working with artists because the contract is brief and straightforward, it allows us to just move instantly.

I think if you can create a meaningful thing that is also an advertisement that's a pretty cool option for brands.

A song is a meaningful thing.

The means of control that record labels had vis-à-vis distribution no longer exist.

There's definitely something broken in the music industry clearly. Partly from downloading and partly the obstacles for discovery and listener choice and artist distribution are gone.

I just write songs, I make music, and I have several times over reinvented my life in order to keep making music and just make music all day. I don't know. It's just what I have to do.

Your coffin reached the monstrous hole. And a part of me went down into the muddy earth with you and lay down next to you and died with you.

Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!

Memories remain a part of one's life, whether that arise, and pass in a bitter or a sweet way.

like many families, everyone wandered around like children in a funhouse—they could hardly see one another around the corners, and what they could see was completely distorted.

When I was 14 years old, I was by no means trying to work professionally at all.

'La Dolce Vita' made we want to go to Rome and, if not jump into the Trevi Fountain, at least watch someone else do it. Maybe that's why I married an Italian...!

It actually does matter what people think about you.

There was a time when no difficult subjects were ever aired in the 'Lady', and sadly, life isn't like that.

Now all the knowledge and wisdom that is in creatures, whether angels or men, is nothing else but a participation of that one eternal, immutable and increased wisdom of God.

Gratitude is the first sign of a thinking, rational creature.
