There's a lot of stuff that I've been through in my life in the past couple of months that I don't really want to share with people who are close to me, but I have no option if it's my art.

Music is much more of a multimedia sort of thing than I expected.

There are a million things out there every single day that trigger me - songs, smells, even the season that we're in, fall. Something about the air.

It's so easy to hate something. It's harder to genuinely appreciate something.

I'm glad that, despite everything, I was able to get work done and finish something. I never finish anything. So just being able to finish record and to make music is a great gift.

A record is worth 10,000 live shows.

There are just some things that you can't deny.

All I'm trying to do is make music that people like and that makes people happy.

I am super-interested in fashion. I love being a person whose clothes get discussed. That makes it more interesting for me.

I'm like part of the Kurt Cobain school of writing lyrics, which is the syntax of the words is more important than... is where it all comes from.

If I play Coachella, it's sponsored by a company - that's corporate, too. But we're playing it because we're getting paid and we want to be a part of the festival.

There are more things in heaven and earth...than are dreamt of by your philosophy.

There was no one to blame but the mighty, ruthless stranger. Thus was complexity reduced to demonology, which is a defining feature of anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, or, indeed, any "anti-ism.

The secret to happiness is short-term, stupid self-interest!

Over the years, over the history of our country, liberals have stood on many of the right sides of the issues.

Everybody starts at the top, and then has the problem of staying there. Lasting accomplishment, however, is still achieved through a long, slow climb and self-discipline.

Today I'm a candidate for the office of president of the United States of America. My kids can't believe I just said that.

Oh, Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back?

We are slaves in the hands of nature - slaves to a bit of bread, slaves to praise, slaves to blame, slaves to wife, to husband, to child, slaves to everything.

Compassion is the use of public funds to buy votes

We approach the divine by enlarging our souls and lighting up our brains.
