You can't please everybody all the time, but I think for the most part we tend to maintain a healthy level of self-reference to kind of make sure we continue to push things forward.

I want so badly to believe that there is truth, that love is real. And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd.

The second 'Postal Service' album is threatening to become the 'Chinese Democracy' of indie rock. It will come out eventually, or maybe it won't.

At this point in my life, I find myself obsessed with alternate paths I could've taken. I don't think about this with a sense of regret, but with a sense of wonder.

I'm a war of head versus heart, it's always this way. My head is weak, my heart always speaks, before I know what it will say.

I have always been very open and earnest about some things in my life, some things that are not directly in my life, but they're twirling around me at the time.

If there is a defining characteristic of a man as opposed to a boy, maybe it's patience.

We want the ball, and we’re going to score

The best way to come to terms with anything that is out of harmony is never to fear it - that gives it power. Bring good influences to bear upon it; make yourself a good example.

One of the nice things about science fiction is that it lets us carry out thought experiments.

For true patriots to be silent, is dangerous.

To be world champion brings fame. The fame brings good things and bad things too. I try to take the good with calmness.

Gods, how I’ve missed you. (Stryker) I hate you with every beat of my heart. (Zephyra)
