I never looked at being a musician any different than waking up one day and wanting to be an accountant or a lawyer.

Sometimes my hands they don’t feel like my own; I need someone to love, I need someone to hold.

I have some vivid memories of walking around as a child with a cassette tape.

I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like, and I'm very bad at toning myself down.

I never was the front man in any bands I played in when I was in college, and I always learned music by myself at home.

You get one chance to make an impression and coasting through is a disservice.

I didn't start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn't play much music in school.

I'm very ambitious, musically - I want to create great things, not mediocre work.

I want to talk about things that are tangible and real to me, but I also want to do them in a way that's poetic and artistic.

With music, it feels natural that, in my head, I can pull things apart and then put them back together very quickly.

I was never a 'sit down with a notepad and write lyrics' kind of person.

Happiness was but the occasional episode in a general drama of pain.

They said" Your Anger could Destroy you.." Even if my Brain designed it to Destroy my enemy.

I'd be nervous about skiing, wondering what I'd do if I felt shaky on top of a mountain; but other diabetics do ski, so there's no reason I couldn't.

I had always liked blind dates. If nothing else, it was an interesting way of discovering what people thought of you.

Do not teach your children never to be angry; teach them how to be angry.

Where are you going?" he asked. "To break someone's heart," I replied.

But I - and I just think it's very - one of the problems of defending the extraordinary principle of freedom of speech is that you have to defend freedom of speech for people like that too.

I believe in finding a soulmate.

Life's a wheel of fortune and it's my chance to spin it.

We cannot tire or give up. We owe it to the present and future generations of all species to rise up and walk!
