I want people to get out of that nasty habit of needing a label. Every genre for each song is different.

Eternally repeating that cycle of death and rebirth, an existence such as this... truly, mine is what may be called a 'perfect existence'!

I tell the truth through music. Other people tend to catch on and agree with my truth and it turns out we are all really similar.

I’ve kissed death a thousand times before

I wear boxers all the time. I don't really move like a girl. I mean, unless it's time for me to get dressed or something.

When your parents regulate everything you hear and everything you intake, it forces you to get creative in other ways.

My parents are really conservative. My dad is Muslim, and my mom is the most conservative woman you've ever met. They're very aristocratic in the most quaint suburban way.

I've always wanted an office job so I can tell someone, "I'm going to take a long lunch," or "I'm out of the office." I don't know why, but I've always seen so much stability in clocking in.

I don't listen to my own music, so to me it's awesome that people really like it. I was afraid that it wouldn't connect with everyone. I'm more appreciative than anything.

All systems of the society should serve the mind, instead of the mind serving the systems.

As believers our only debt is love and our only competition is to outdo each other in love.

Love can’t cover over the sins we cover up…If you want God and others to cover over your sin, stop covering it up.

Sometimes you need to be touched to know you're still alive.

My view is that when lies become mixed up with the truth, it's a very dangerous world.

The key to evangelism is a great product. It is easy, almost unavoidable, to catalyze evangelism for a great product. It is hard, almost impossible, to catalyze evangelism for crap.

If we attach more importance to what other people believe than to what we know to be true - if we value belonging over being - we will not attain authenticity.

Only authentic human beings can create a society which will be joyous, ecstatic, and in the real sense, human.

If they ever let me in the ring with him [Cassius Clay], I'm liable to be put away for murder.

We are proud of a human nature that could be so passionately extreme, but we shrink from advising others to follow the example.
