When it comes to the internet, when it comes to the United States' technical economy, we have more to lose than any other nation on earth.

There have been times throughout American history where what is right is not the same as what is legal. Sometimes to do the right thing you have to break the law.

I'm happy to be reminded that an ordinary day full of nothing but nothingness can make you feel like you've won the lottery.

When you're songwriting, it's like talking about your own life experience. When you're with a band, you have to compromise.

Love that we cannot have is the one that lasts the longest,hurts the deepest,but feels the strongest
