The shows are the main way our lives have changed.

I hate it when bands change between records. They're thinking before they make music.

Twitter has to be about art. It can't be about banal things. Banal things and art are two different worlds.

Reverb does that thing where you make one sound and it grows to 20 times its original size and fills everything up.

Music is about your feelings.

We almost don't want to play bigger shows than where we are now. It's kind of perfect.

When I'm on a stage, I don't feel like this dude who's sitting here drinking Amstel Lights. I'm trying to temporarily become something else that can deliver a feeling.

The word is like an object - we were thinking "bloom," "doom." It encapsulated tons: the bloom, the end of the bloom, and then coming back the next year.

Art is what gets communicated at a live show, which is why live shows are so amazing. To communicate in a different way is a mixed message. It devalues everything.

A lot of people listening to music now don't listen to the songs or lyrics at all. They just go, "Good tones..." and that's it.

There's too much emphasis on backstory and personal stuff in music now - it's not going to make the music better if I hear that you did karate for the six months leading up to it.

Eagerly desire to know thy Creator.

Opposition stood in my way, but I persevered against all odds and in the process gained my freedom as well as became a man whose future is like the universe/cosmos...INFINITE

You cannot dream yourself into a character you must hammer and forge one for yourself.

Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.

You have to go out onto the pitch feeling good about yourself. That can give you that extra 30 per cent.

Naught is too small and soft to turn and sting.

For me, life is about enjoying yourself because you only live once. We should try to make the most of things and follow our dreams.

You can think your way into or out of almost any circumstance, good or bad.

There has to be a beginning somewhere and my thing is that I am going to give it all I got.

A profound political question is suddenly on the table: Must the country continue to give precedence to private financial gain and market determinism over human lives and broad public values?
