For me, the more I live, the more I need to write. The more I push myself to really live and really experience things and step outside of my comfort zone, the more the songs are allowed to flow.

Sometimes you have to step away from what you love in order to learn how to love it again.

When I'm in a place like Iceland, I allow myself to take a little more time to divert off onto other paths creatively for a while and see what comes to me.

It's not hard to grow when you know that you just don't know.

May you be satisfied to never know why-sometimes someone just wants to die.

Love taught me to cry So come on courage! Teach me to be shy.

My eyes were closed, they're open now

Stones taught me to fly Love taught me to lie And life taught me to die So it's not hard to fall When you float like a cannonball.

I want to keep a thread between the studio and the stage, and I want to flow more easily from one to the other.

I had to take a bit of a break and fast for a while, but then I found myself very, very hungry when I got back to [song-writing].

Cold, cold water, surrounds me now, and all I've got is your hand.

If I wanted you to understand, I would have explained it better ~ Aarush Kashyap

We have to enforce the individual mandate. We're losing a lot of money that is not coming into the system.

Christian ethics is not primarily an individualistic, one-on-one-with-God brand of personal holiness; rather it has to do with living the life of the Spirit in Christian community and in the world.

I'll say life is simpler.

I have no problem with people seeing me as the nice guy. I hope they don't see me as just the nice guy.

If you think about yourself then you've lost sight of the ball.

I love New York so much; I could never live anywhere else, and ESPECIALLY not in my hometown.

I guess God made Boston on a wet Sunday.

Boys forget what their country means by just reading "the land of the free" in history books. Then they get to be men, they forgeteven more. Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books.

I like writing about big turning points, where professional and personal lives coalesce, where the boundaries are coming down, and you're faced with a set of choices which will change life forever.
