If you live up against train tracks, it can make your life a living hell.

Bands-- enough with the crayon face-paint-- you're better than that.

I do feel like at the end of anger I have to have something that grounds it.

Some people never need to let up at all.

I've dreamed about performing songs, songs that don't even exist, as a complete song.

I know that the dream mind is irrational, but I like to think that if I hear something in a dream that's really good, then it's irrational... but it's not crazy.

I actually dream a lot of songs, and I try to be good about voice-memoing ideas.

There's a definite machinery behind everything that a band does, and sometimes it's hard to figure out how far to go in delegating certain responsibilities and staying COMPLETELY DIY.

I think I'd like to see CDs disappear. Too much plastic crap lying around. If I want some music these days, I'm gonna either get as MP3s or on vinyl.

Even You-Know-Who can't split himself into seven.

I have to wear six pairs of speedos when I run.

In Lilly's eyes her beautiful clear water eyes there is what I have sought and never found, wanted and never had, hoped for and never discovered. Love.

Tell tales out of school.

Great indeed is the sublimity of the creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.

I brought in producer Johan Carlsson [Ariana Grande, One Direction, Flo Rida] and asked, "Can you make this better?" And he did.

Only where love and need are one, And the work is play for mortal stakes Is the deed ever truly done For Heaven and the future's sakes

You can't just try to be a performer. It's in your DNA. I really believe that it's either what you are or it's not at all.
