I was raised with this idea that we're supposed to be tolerant of other people's opinions, but then what happens if other people's opinions are racist and hateful and wrong?

The good thing about working alone is I get a lot done and I can experiment more. The bad thing is I miss out on the gregarious, social way that most musicians work.

One simple word: ugh. Is something still considered a conspiracy if it's played out right under our noses?

My reason for becoming a vegetarian was simple: I loved (and love) animals

I'm envious of people who can sleep as long as they want. I have the circadian rhythm of a farmer.

Every communist has a fascist frown, every fascist a communist smile.

One of the things that wrong with pictures today, I think, is that so many of the people making them started out wanting to.

The expansion of the whole cosmos was but the shrinkage of all its physical units and of the wavelengths of light.

I always look at a girls shoes. And if they’re wearing heels, i wonder how she would look if she was just wearing those.

Do as the heavens have done, forget your evil; With them forgive yourself.
