When making a record, I could done a new face pretty easily and use all these different devices to hide who I am - or who I was - which really had very little to do with what I was trying to convey.

The things that keep me awake at night are things like textures and instrumentation and plotting out what things are going to do and what the sounds are that I'm trying to capture.

There's always room for improvement. I'm always focused on the results, and those are the precise things that I don't really experience as a part of the performance.

I dont think I threw myself into music because I had the best intentions; it was because I was really angry.

I always wanted to get into rock music so I could cover up my real personality, change my voice, and create a false self to hide behind.

I love everybody. You have to embrace all facets of humanity; love and accept everyone as being part of yourself.

I get to live down my reputation for being cantankerous if I slowly evolve towards being a really good live show.

I'm not dissatisfied, just not satisfied in an ultimate sense.

I never see songs as permanent. I'm always in a state of revising everything.

My goal is to make something special and pure, and that keeps me going, keeps me busy on the path of sobriety.

I procrastinate, and I push writing to the last available moment, because I don't like to settle on anything. I guess you can call it indecision or you can call it holding out for inspiration.

For the soul, understand, is itself the whole world.

When you walk in the light, all the darkness around you shall disappear.

No age or time of life no position or circumstance has a monopoly on success. Any age is the right age to start doing!

I work out at least 5 times a week.

For me especially, I travel a lot, and with the weather change and everything, my skin gets dehydrated very fast.

In writing, habit seems to be a much stronger force than either willpower or inspiration.

Today the eyes of orthodox Jews of earth are fixed upon Palestine.

Be careful, boy. In some tales, the hero gets eaten by the monster after all .

I can't wait for the iPhone 6. It's my only ambition in life to have it quickly.

The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible.
