There are so many good guitarists out there, I am by no means a very good guitar player.

You like some things, you don't like others. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the others, it just means you have an opinion.

Nobody ever cares what I say! I feel badly about it, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

I feel like people who are guarded and shut off, I feel like they should have to wear a button that says, "shut down", "guarded" or something.

The point of life for me is just to make connections with people and share experiences with people.

It seems to me, that's the only thing that ends up being really fulfilling or satisfying - your career.

I'm sure that it's not good not to be around people.

I never go out, ever. And I think that's why I've been craving human connection so badly, and in a way, I'm excited to go on tour to be around people all the time.

Some people seem so different, some people feel so much more than other people, some people are able to push past things so much easier. And...it's just fascinating to me.

When you've got insane drums and a lot of guitar, it's really hard to mix the vocals, to mix it all well.

When I go on and listen to the stuff on the websites, I can't tell, it all sounds like the same band, like they should all be in one band together.

A beautiful face cannot hide an ugly heart for long.

So few are the easy victories as the ultimate failures.

You know, all my songs are relatives, brothers, sisters, cousins.

Nowadays people don't know how to handle it if all the ends aren't tied up and they're not told what to think in films. And if they're challenged, they think it's something wrong with the film.

God isn't trying to make our lives easier; He wants to make them more meaningful.

Something about making art has to do with overcoming things, giving us a clear opportunity for doing things in ways we have always known we should do them.

But all thing which that shineth as the gold Ne is no gold, as I have herd it told.

There's no question that the minute I got elected, the storm clouds on the horizon were getting nearly directly overhead.

The wise man once said invest young

Cambodia was not a mistake; it was a crime. The world is diminished by the experience.
