If I can hear it I can kind of play it. I guess that's how I write, just how something feels.

I'm not really the most confident guy in the world, but I also don't care too much about what people think about me either. I just try to be honest in what I like and see who likes it.

For the most part, I'm extremely thankful for the life I have and what I get to do in the future.

I don't like meeting bands that I like, because in the slight case that they might not be cool, it kind of ruins it for me.

I know so many people that I wouldn't have ever met had I not have been travelling since I was fourteen.

My thing is I'd love to be friends with Thom Yorke but if he wasn't a nice guy it would ruin everything for me, I probably wouldn't be able to listen to his music.

Music and friends are the most important to me really, it's all I ever do.

That's the point of music, to not be selfish and to help other people, I think.

When you're a kid and you're in a classroom, anybody would die to be hanging out in London or having their sixteenth birthday in Japan.

I take my faith seriously.

I really write emotionally so whatever mood I'm in, or if a chord hits me a certain way that's what I'll go off of.

You may be James the American, or Mary the British, or anything else, but before all that, you are a human.

Courage provides you with two qualities

I've protected my protracted period of infancy. For many years. And I have no desire to become an adult.

Among seniors, Social Security is the sole source of income for 26 percent of nonmarried women.

If you visit the killing floor of a slaughterhouse, it will brand your soul for life.

Something is usable if it behaves exactly as expected.

We cannot be free of nagging desires through suppression. This is like trying to keep a rubber boat beneath the water. But we remove compulsive desires altogether by understanding their nature.

Who mocks at music mocks at love.

I know my girlfriend is free-spirited. I know she's so charming that it's disarming. I get it. And I know that every man is going to fall in love with her.
