People who make good music aren't necessarily nice people.

I'm not a religious person but I do like the idea of Sunday as a day set apart from the rest of the week. It's nice to have a period of reflection and have time to think about things.

The things in my songs are the edited highlights of my life. I don't go seeking out strange sexual experiences every day of the week.

Its OK to grow up, just as long as you don't grow old. Face it you are young.

You don't often hear people say, 'Oh, since he's been taking them drugs, he's such a nice person! He's really come out of his shell, he's really nice, he's blossomed'.

Sparks are warm while they last.

Most of life is a matter of nonessential differences.

Do your beliefs create your goals or are your beliefs a result of achieving your goals?

When I went to college, my mum was really sad, so she preserved my bedroom, like a weird time capsule.

How sweet it is!

God knows the truth in all of this, and at the end of the day, that is the only thing that matters. Jesus was persecuted, and I'm going to get persecuted, ya know?

I called Donald Trump a racist. Nobody that makes that charge is being intellectually honest, or else they're being intellectually lazy.

We only have one rule and that is there are no rules, so stand up and sing as much as you want to.

We notice as the Bible goes on, the area of scared space shrinks.

I am not a big technology person. I don't go on the Internet really much at all. Drawing is like a zen thing; it's private, which in this day and age is harder to come by.
