People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.

In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.

My hair is a wild, untamable beast! I like letting it grow; my bangs grow whatever way they want and I kind of follow their rule. So side bangs, poof bangs - it's kind of unpredictable.

I'm a Gemini, so I'm very dual. I love something and I hate it at the same time, so that probably comes out in the lyrics.

As you get older you realise that nothing lasts forever. It's not depressing, but it does make moments more intense.

I think the Yamaha has a giant quality. When you combine the Yamaha with other organs, you get this crazy rectangular sound. It's kind of flat and thick.

Sound is a very unruly thing, and you have to really respect that it's going to differ every time you play.

I personally do not listen to a lot of music. It helps keep my mind free. I don't want to sound like someone else from the get-go. I want to express myself and the world in my head.

Sometimes people talk about music, whether blogs or magazines, in a strange way where it doesn't seem like they're actually listening to it.

Yeah, it's a lot harder to find a musical partner than a love partner.

If a psychiatrist would analyze [the lyrics], I'm sure they'd come up with something interesting. I really don't try to twist them. I don't want to slash things.

If we fast forward through the journey, like Adam Sandler in the movie, Click, we’ll look up one day and see that we missed our lives.

To become effective men of God, then, we must know and acknowledge that every grace and every virtue proceeds from God alone, and that not even a good thought can come from us except it be of Him.

I act with full responsibility and after extensive reflection.

Global warming isn't a prediction. It is happening.

I am proud to be Latino.

It has been my fate in a long life of production to be credited chiefly with the equivocal virtue of industry, a quality so excellent in morals, so little satisfactory in art.

I'll always definitely strive to write songs that are going to help people feel confident in themselves.

Psychotic hallucinations, whether they are visual or vocal, they address you. They accuse you. They seduce you. They humiliate you. They jeer at you. You interact with them.

Better the anger of a friend than the kiss of an enemy.

As we create synergy among the roles of our lives, there's more of us to put into the time we have.
