I play video games, dude!

That's what drew me to rock music in the first place - that sense of remaking the world on your own terms.

You make kingdoms and castles on your own.

Music is the only thing in this world, with the exception of sneezing and looking at the sunset, that takes you to a place that's above the mundane. Everything else is just bullshit.

I don't really believe in palm readers and crystal balls and tarot cards, but I respond to the need for them.

When you're just shagging girls, you can talk about it, but once it gets real, then you don't.

There's usually a rhythm and a melody in my head, and that creates an emotional state

My music is so often like a lullaby I write to myself to make sense of things I can't tie together, or things I've lost, or things I'll never have.

I have my share of insecurities, hopes and fears. My music is my way to rearrange the world according to my own hopes.

I don't think DIY is something that necessarily comes to mind when people hear Third Eye Blind, but that is completely how we've been from the beginning.

Luxury and Ostentation usually make me feel antsy, like I'm going to get a case of gout.

A sacred soul is a spiritual being.

If prayers emitted light, you'd see ours (Liberty students') from space.

Generally I try to avoid discussing consciousness, since it's, like, hard.

Never make predictions, especially about the future.

I can't imagine laying a finger on my kids. I go the other way and probably because my father was so abusive.

I have the virtue of being still amongst the living. Some would say that is my only virtue.

I have grown up but that should be a positive thing. When you look at a photo album it's lovely to remember being so young but it's also good to know you grew up!

The most essential quality in the game is passion

What am I going to wear to the Emmys? Something with a tie.

You might catch me dozing off, but only for a minute. For a second.
