There's definitely something broken in the music industry clearly. Partly from downloading and partly the obstacles for discovery and listener choice and artist distribution are gone.

If you get on the radio, people hear it, they buy the record. If you get on Spotify playlist nowadays, people hear it, they buy the record.

Music and weed go well together, obviously.

I make music. It's kind of what I've always done.

I feel like weed is still taboo enough to be cool but not taboo enough that you have to totally hide it, which is like a pretty good place for an entity to be at.

I think most people now listen to different genres when they have different moods. I know I certainly do.

There are so few barriers to working with artists because the contract is brief and straightforward, it allows us to just move instantly.

I think if you can create a meaningful thing that is also an advertisement that's a pretty cool option for brands.

A song is a meaningful thing.

The means of control that record labels had vis-à-vis distribution no longer exist.

They sell crap to buy you.

I've achieved everything I've wanted to achieve, so I'm not scared of failure. I never gave up, however bad the injuries got.

What do our clergy lose by reading their sermons? They lose preaching, the preaching of the voice in many cases, the preaching of the eye almost always.

Fools talk, cowards are silent, wise men listen.

I've been really upset sometimes when I've been misquoted. And it's the one thing they use in big print. Or it's taken out of context. Thoughts are fluid and words are sticky. That's the thing.

I have an optimistic view of everything. You have to, otherwise you'd go nuts.

How then can we deal with our tendency toward worldliness? It is not by determining that we will not be worldly, but by committing ourselves to becoming more godly.

Petitions, not sweetened with gold, are but unsavory and oft refused; or, if received, are pocketed, not read.

Probably the most important single element that I found in my own marriage was a sense of humor. My wife had a delicious sense of humor, and I think I have an adequate one.
