I was home-schooled 'cause I wanted to be an actor. I would spend all day watching movies, trying to get through calculus.

I was home-schooled, was always very close with my mom and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one, and I never threw hissy fits.

I was listening to a lot of Norwegian black metal and death metal. There's a great history to Norwegian black metal. That music is very dark and violent, but it's also beautiful.

I'm learning with the older that I get that some feelings are just universal and that I'm not the only one who hates their hair or their life at times.

It's really hard to see yourself and to recognize that you are a human being like everybody else. You just think everybody's judging you.

Sometimes I laugh with my parents, and sometimes I yell at them, and both are therapeutic.

For me, the dumbest rule is that you can't chew gum in school. For some reason, chewing gum for me gets my brain going.

I usually get my lyrics when I let my mind wander, when you're not really awake, but not yet fully asleep. I keep an open notebook by my bed and then just write whatever comes to me.

I want more awareness of humanity in this world.

I'm so used to swimming with the piranhas. And they're really not that bad.

It's very scary to allow the world to see you.

Fill your heart with love and brighten your days with color and joy.

I want him everywhere. I burn for him in places he hasn't even touched.

I don't think I'd have been in such a hurry to reach adulthood if I'd known the whole thing was going to be ad-libbed.

If you resolve to give up smoking drinking and loving you don't actually live longer it just seems longer.

Touring doesn't kill me and I can handle it.

There are no countries in the world less known by the British than those selfsame British Islands.

Elegance of language must give way before simplicity in preaching sound doctrine.

I've had good moments scattered since then, times when I thought I was better, but that was the last day I felt triumphant.

I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I'm on stage they're not privileged to see me. It's a privilege for me to see them.

Making movies is never going to get better than working on a Coen brothers project.
