Music is much more of a multimedia sort of thing than I expected.

There are a million things out there every single day that trigger me - songs, smells, even the season that we're in, fall. Something about the air.

It's so easy to hate something. It's harder to genuinely appreciate something.

I'm glad that, despite everything, I was able to get work done and finish something. I never finish anything. So just being able to finish record and to make music is a great gift.

A record is worth 10,000 live shows.

There are just some things that you can't deny.

All I'm trying to do is make music that people like and that makes people happy.

I am super-interested in fashion. I love being a person whose clothes get discussed. That makes it more interesting for me.

I'm like part of the Kurt Cobain school of writing lyrics, which is the syntax of the words is more important than... is where it all comes from.

If I play Coachella, it's sponsored by a company - that's corporate, too. But we're playing it because we're getting paid and we want to be a part of the festival.

It's totally true: Ariel, Christopher Owens, me, and Courtney Love, all in Saint Laurent ads, all with the same haircut.

Vampires, like virgins or priests, are things that women believe in. We must never fail to humor them in such matters.

I can never get used to not having you around Nanay. I travel the world but I can't find anybody like you!

Being interested is more important than being interesting.

We had a great rally right next to Phoenix, and it was an amazing, 21,000 people. But the protesters block the road. So you had thousands of people that couldn't get in.

To "bear arms" is, in itself, a military term. One does not bear arms against a rabbit.

We must not be hampered by yesterday's myths in concentrating on today's needs.

Victory is a good wine; defeat is a good university!

There's something in the cross that says this is not just about my "salvation" but about the "salvation" of all those who suffer injustice and inequality.

Its not about the goal. Its about growing to become the person that can accomplish that goal.

It's silly to build a wall around your interests.
