My fans are the best in the world! They've grown up with me and stayed with me through this entire journey.

A fine timepiece is part of dressing like a gentleman. When I first made a little money, I bought my first watch which was a Rolex Daytona. It was just one of those things that said I was successful.

I write about moments, and I don't make blanket statements about anything because no one has all the answers; nobody's come up with a foolproof way to do anything when it comes to emotions.

There's only one thing that everyone in this world has in common: whether you want to love somebody and you want to be loved in return.

I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore.

People don't like when you point out to them and remind them that they're not very smart.

It doesn't matter the genre or type of art, if it's authentic there's an apparent beauty to it and as an artist, that's very inspiring.

I'm creating music - it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it.

I do not wear my emotions on my sleeve; I write about them.

When it's your chance to step up to the plate, just hit it out of the park, and everybody will forget about everything that came before.

I was a nerd academically. But I was also an athlete and a musician. I never wanted to be shut out of any situation. I think it was that more than anything.

I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell.

My thoughts are with you all. Forever conscious of the vast, absurd universe and writing my eternal story I shall remain dead, but dreaming.

Life is likephotography we develop from the negatives

Whatever we can't love or accept in another, is a mirror of something we can't love or accept in ourselves.

I feel like the gods have certainly patted me on the head.

Killing people was far easier than making polite chitchat.

My music is very, very precise. It's very rigorous. The forms are much more intricate than you would imagine.

If you like laws and sausages, you should never watch either one being made.

I hate negative songs; I won't sing them. It doesn't matter if it's sold 2 million more albums.

Gratitude is a euphemism for resentment.
