People have a hard time reading my comics. I think I leave things out, but I feel you should.

You can't be both a painter and a musician and master anything. You can't. And live a life.

Words, for me, don't have as much contextual leeway as sound.

I love a lot of people in bands and people doing weird art stuff, but i will always forget someone and i don't really want to be part of stamping the boundaries on a scene.

I have always felt a little held back by working with other people in recording.

I am a musician before a writer, and a drawer before a writer. When I lose sight of that, which I do, my work tends to suffer.

I hope to incorporate more variety of beats, more syncopation. It becomes very easy to play straight beats; straight rock is alluring.

Maybe people are finally tiring of watered down grunge rock on the radio.

I try to drum each day. It's therapeutic.

It's really nice to have things to mail to people when they mail you things, or trade to people at shows. Something homemade, it feels... down to earth.

I feel that music is more flexible than language and your song, or "piece" is only as flexible as your least flexible component.

God's dream is interwoven into reality by humans.

I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid I'll never get a chance to live!

There is a voice in my head that is only silenced by the scratching of my pen

Without a vision to guide our path, and without ambition that knows no limits, we can never build a bright future for generations to come.

A secret weighs on us, a terrible secret weighs with a terrible weight.

Never answer a critic, unless he's right.

Forms of government are forged mainly in the fire of practice, not in the vacuum of theory. They respond to national character and to national realities.

Human identity is no longer defined by what one does but rather by what one owns.

To me, photography was a completely new medium, and I did not... feel the urge to transfer to it my ideas about painting.

If we seek God for our own good and profit, we are not seeking God.
