As a music listener, I'm becoming more and more ADD - like, "Eh, I'm bored with this". So who knows how long I'll be playing music.

Identity politics are becoming less important since culture's being blended into one big thing - I look at kids' Tumblrs and they're all into the same things.

I've always thought that reviews and knowing how much your fans appreciate or don't like something, that's the sugar coating. I'm trying not to think about those things.

I'm not worried about repeating myself - I'm more worried that I'd just get bored.

I see a lot of people of color in my fanbase and at all my shows, and it's really awesome.

Once you move in with your significant other, you have to become a combination of each other.

It's really cool to be around people that are younger than you who are really cool with being open about stuff.

I don't put categories on music, myself. So either people go with it or they don't, and sometimes the names sound a little silly.

Maybe one day I'll write my rock album so I can use more obscure references and just be weird. If the lyrics are too crazy, though, then it's not pop anymore.

Kids are starting to dress the same, listen to the same music. I look at their Tumblrs and they're all into the same things.

I like to challenge myself, to see if I can actually write a pop album that people can connect with lyrically. Musically, it's very accessible - or, at least, I hope so.

I'll tell you what God did do. He sent Jesus to die on the cross so you could be saved. To forgive your sins. That doesn't sound like condemnation

I don’t want to take away anybody’s religion, but simply to make them see what religion really means.

Life is a great big canvas

If we tune into the Holy Spirit, our congregations will tune into the worship.

As time requireth a man of marvellous mirth and past times and sometimes of as sad gravity as who say: a man for all seasons.

The business of business is business.

Make no enemies; he is insignificant indeed that can do thee no harm.

The pure in heart are slow to credit calumnies, because they hardly comprehend what motives can be inducements to the alleged crimes.

It doesn't matter; even if you do tend to wear the same things all the time, it's how you wear them and your attitude that counts.
