I wanted to remind people that there was a time when music required an attention span.

When I get compared to artists like Jose Gonzalez or Bon Iver, I can't help but think, "I've been doing this since they were in third grade."

We're all human and life is complicated.

I didn't want to put myself, or anyone else, asleep with another quintessential Mark Kozelek album.

I make music to process - because I have to, not for praise or accolades or reactions.

The music business, and the travel that comes with it, is stressful, challenging, redundant, exhausting, exciting, and often very depressing.

I feel like when the songwriting slows, I'd love to help others with their records. If it's something I really believe in, it's worth the effort.

Anyone who has toured as long as I have, or who has traveled as extensively, and says that they've never cheated is lying.

I don't make demos. I don't have the interest or the energy or the time.

When you get older, you're bothered, or inspired, by other things in life than a girl breaking up with you. Things get heavier as you get older.

She believed she couldn't, so God did.

Of course I love you. For real. I will sure come and personally meet you myself. Just to make sure you're well. When is your funeral?

We're very simple people at Apple. We focus on making the world's best products and enriching people's lives.

When you're young, you try to meet that expectation that people have of you. It can be very stressful. But with time it's become less of problem.

No child should die in the dawn of life.

Trust...trust your fellow actors to support you; trust them to come through if you lay something heavy on them; trust yourself.

Everything is danger, but we pretend that it's not.

Do what makes you happy, think later.

Maintaining marriage seems to be tougher than fatherhood: apparently its the most difficult thing in the world.

Eternity - waste of time.
