What a unique opportunity to be in town. I love townies. I value it, so to speak.

The easiest thing to feel is sadness.

Our lives feel like these epochs, but really we are dust in the wind.

But in any situation with long love, I don’t think it ever goes away fully. You just sort of learn where to keep it.

I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind. I'm building a still, to slow down the time.

I don't know why you'd spend any of your time trying to remake something that you don't actually like.

There's that whole thing that happens in relationships - you can love someone but, as soon as they stop loving you so unconditionally that they stop being themselves, it can be so dangerous.

At once i knew i was not magnificent.

Even the indie rock world - which is supposed to be about truth and independence from corporate mindfulness or something - is totally subject to the paraphernalia of celebrity.

I began realizing that it wasn't important for me to concern myself with the perception of truth.

I'm not trying to say something super complicated. I allow myself to say certain things that mean a lot to me.

Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.

Everything but a life can be replaced.

Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world's original sin. If cavemen had known how to laugh, history would have been different.

Profound desire, true desire is the desire to be close to someone.

If the North wanted to hack anything in the world, anything in the world, really, they are going to go hack a movie? Really?!

God decided to create a species with whom he could have fellowship. Who are we to say that evolution was a dumb way to do it? It was an incredibly elegant way to do it.

The only way to fail for me is just not to try.

It was only a few years ago that I couldn't get hired to save my life.

I would ditch school if my CD was scratched up or I couldnt get batteries. I wasnt trying to get on the bus and not be listening to music.

My argument would be that I don't think there is much that's genuinely political art that is good art.
