People say 'I don't want to die alone!' But you know what, honestly? I don't want to die with a bunch of people looking at me.

I'm tired of watching attractive people trying to be ugly, struggling for authenticity. Why not be yourself?

Everything I do is 100% automation, which means I'm just doing it live.

What could be more experimental than me writing a straight up love song?

I don't know if I have any real aspirations to be an actor. It was just something I was asked to do in sort of a friend way. And I thought, Why not?

I always write the first and last song of an album first, and then the middle just kind of happens.

The Internet nowadays is all sensationalism, and it's just terrifying when you're actually experiencing it as a person.

I don't think you should make music to make music, just to show that you can. That's the opposite of vitality.

I'm obsessed with five different things a day. It's like lightbulbs in a Christmas light chain.

The great achievement of liberal Protestantism was to make God boring.

Now I'm feeling how I should. Never knew single could feel this good.

I'm not going to sacrifice love, real love, for any *%@$n' war or any friend, or any business, because in the end you're alone at night.

It's easy to talk to a horse if you understand his language. Horses stay the same from the day they are born until the day they die. They are only changed by the way people treat them.

Confidence is its own security.

We need to repeal and replace Dodd-Frank act. We need to make America fair again for all businesses, but especially those being run by small business owners.

No temporary chaos is worth your sanity.

War is not to be waged in the name of God.
