If a psychiatrist would analyze [the lyrics], I'm sure they'd come up with something interesting. I really don't try to twist them. I don't want to slash things.

In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.

My hair is a wild, untamable beast! I like letting it grow; my bangs grow whatever way they want and I kind of follow their rule. So side bangs, poof bangs - it's kind of unpredictable.

People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.

I'm a Gemini, so I'm very dual. I love something and I hate it at the same time, so that probably comes out in the lyrics.

As you get older you realise that nothing lasts forever. It's not depressing, but it does make moments more intense.

I think the Yamaha has a giant quality. When you combine the Yamaha with other organs, you get this crazy rectangular sound. It's kind of flat and thick.

Sound is a very unruly thing, and you have to really respect that it's going to differ every time you play.

I personally do not listen to a lot of music. It helps keep my mind free. I don't want to sound like someone else from the get-go. I want to express myself and the world in my head.

Sometimes people talk about music, whether blogs or magazines, in a strange way where it doesn't seem like they're actually listening to it.

Yeah, it's a lot harder to find a musical partner than a love partner.

He who plants a tree, plants a hope.

Strength is seeing yourself as you are.

The American is wholeheartedly for love and romance at any cost.

The genius does not differ from others in their access to the light within, only in their confident acceptance of its natural outstreaming.

I take a whole life story and compress it into three minutes.

I like doing both comedy and drama. I'm not really feeling more drawn to one over the other. I also like dramedies. I like movies and TV shows that are mixtures of the two.

Did something happen to the sanctity of your church again?" My eye twitched. "Newt broke it so she could look in my closet." Again.

Bill Gates really seems to be much more of a business man than a technologist, while I prefer to think of Linux in technical terms rather than as a means to money.

From the heart, there is no place in America for hatred or acts of prejudice or violence or anti-Semitism.

Stop trying to figure out what is 'best' for you (how you can win the most, lose the least, get what you want) and start going with what feels like Who You Are.
