You ask a person what their personal favorite song on the album is, and it's literally the one with the least amount of listens if you looked at the statistics of it.

Every morning I wake up with a purpose and a smirk

You're using your headphones to drown out your mind

I care so much about making things that are useful for people to have and listen to, but I don't care so much that I won't do whatever the hell I want. It's just one of those things.

I'm the hero of this story, I don't need to be saved

The piano is not firewood -- yet.

So break me to small parts, let go in small doses, but spare some for spare parts.

I've got a perfect body, 'cause my eyelashes catch my sweat

Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light.

I'm much more drawn to fiction, to short stories, and to plays, than I am to diarists.

I don't really make records chronologically.

No, I do not weep at the world. I'm too busy sharpening my oyster knife.

I love a sandwich that you can barely fit in your mouth because there's so much stuff on it. The bread should not be the main thing on a sandwich.

What we're witnessing really is a political realignment, I mean I think we're moving from a traditional understanding of left-right politics that we've had for a long time.

The world begins with what we believe.

Being against evil doesn't make you good.

I would like to ask a question. Would this sort of war or savage bombing which has taken place in Vietnam have been tolerated for so long, had the people been European?

I'd rather be lucky than good

Make the money, don't let the money make you Change the game, don't let the game change you

In my opinion it's a shame that there is so much work in the world.
