For me, the live show is sort of the ultimate expression of this journey that I've been on.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

You should know how great things were before you. Even so, they're better still today. I can't think of who I was before you ruined everything in the nicest way.

I always feel uncomfortable at parties, and I'm often nervous when talking to strangers. I don't think this makes me feel special. Maybe everybody feels this way.

Make good stuff, then make it easy for people to buy it. There’s your anti-piracy plan.

I'm just a dude and I feel like being completely isolated would be kind of a drag. I really do get a lot of energy from feedback from fans. People create music videos and artwork for my music.

It's weird but it's amazing, and it's great to know people are thinking about you. It's a huge ego boost and anyone that says they don't love that is lying.

I'm a professional Jonathan Coulton. It's partially ego, to be completely honest: It feels great to have people adoring you in that way.

I want to read you every night. I want to take you to bed with me : your words, your thoughts, your mind, your body and your soul.

Happy the eyes that can close

One act of beneficence, one act of real usefulness, is worth all the abstract sentiment in the world.

Influence is the key word in any definition of leadership.

It is hard to believe that something that seems so permanent was once so different. Change. I guess that really is one thing you can count on.

I'm a multi-faceted human being.

I remember getting a Phoenix Suns T-shirt. I had that Phoenix Suns T-shirt forever. It's the funny things you remember as a kid, but it was a blast.

President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. My promise... is to help you and your family.

Financially, it was very successful. Which is the most important thing. That is the only way you get to make another movie. It's very simple. The market will value you.

I have need to busy my heart with quietude.
