That's what drew me to rock music in the first place - that sense of remaking the world on your own terms.

You make kingdoms and castles on your own.

Music is the only thing in this world, with the exception of sneezing and looking at the sunset, that takes you to a place that's above the mundane. Everything else is just bullshit.

I don't really believe in palm readers and crystal balls and tarot cards, but I respond to the need for them.

When you're just shagging girls, you can talk about it, but once it gets real, then you don't.

There's usually a rhythm and a melody in my head, and that creates an emotional state

My music is so often like a lullaby I write to myself to make sense of things I can't tie together, or things I've lost, or things I'll never have.

I have my share of insecurities, hopes and fears. My music is my way to rearrange the world according to my own hopes.

I don't think DIY is something that necessarily comes to mind when people hear Third Eye Blind, but that is completely how we've been from the beginning.

Luxury and Ostentation usually make me feel antsy, like I'm going to get a case of gout.

It's important to face down your demons.

Happiness is not the absence of problems

I am certain that I’m not the only one who would like to have a do-over on an interaction with a loved one.

If you don't like someone's story, write your own. If you don't like what somebody says, say what it is you don't like.

I have the opportunity to do something positive, I want to stay positive. It's hustling backwards in my eyes when I can earn money legitimately. This is what I want to do.

I said shut up once already, with my mouth.

The first time when you can really get a sense of what the movie is going to look and feel like is when you're in a casting room and seeing it.

Man's respect for knowledge is one of his most peculiar characteristics. Knowledge in Latin is scientia, and science came to be the name of the most respectable kind of knowledge.

I'm on the verge of a total breakdown. Sciatica. Taxes. Cars. Fleas, possibly. It's an absurd existence.

The digital and physical worlds are starting to come together more seamlessly - it's only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what's coming.

Don't let any obstacle stop you. Always remember that you have spiritual and mental qualities within you that can overcome even the seemingly impossible.
