I still frequent my parents' house. I go there to escape, back to the bedroom that I grew up in. Just to sit there and feel small.

I do a job I really, really love and I kind of have fun with. People think you can't be grown up unless you're moaning about your job.

There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse.

I'd rather spend my time looking at the sky than listening to Whitney Houston.

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.

Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.

It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.

I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.

I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it.

I've discovered special makeup by a company called M.A.C. You could wear it on the surface of the sun and it wouldn't move.

I had no desire to be famous; I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.

Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul.

With patient hope, we can endure any hardship.

There is really nothing more to say-except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how.

I don't understand the world of the Internet. I just type up on my computer.

I listened to classical guitar and Spanish guitar, as well as jazz guitar players, rock and roll and blues. All of it. I did the same thing with my voice.

I try to give people hope. Even though life is bleak, there's hope out there.

The cholerick man never wants woe.

Change is hard, but change is good.

I am extremely close to my brother, Kent, and my sister, Lauren, who have been remarkably understanding about all of my weird sibling tales.

I promote revolution against the Capitalists and the Social Marxists.
