I definitely don't feel a sense of jealousy or competition, and that's a really good feeling.

The things that keep me awake at night are things like textures and instrumentation and plotting out what things are going to do and what the sounds are that I'm trying to capture.

There's always room for improvement. I'm always focused on the results, and those are the precise things that I don't really experience as a part of the performance.

I dont think I threw myself into music because I had the best intentions; it was because I was really angry.

I'm not dissatisfied, just not satisfied in an ultimate sense.

I never see songs as permanent. I'm always in a state of revising everything.

My goal is to make something special and pure, and that keeps me going, keeps me busy on the path of sobriety.

God can judge me, I don't need a jury. Nothing standing in my way, like nothing's my security.

My family was always present when I needed them and sometimes felt even stronger emotions than me.

The moon doesn't have enough gravity to keep an atmosphere around it and some men doesn't have enough honour to keep God's angels around them!

If I thought of the number of people who were watching me as I got ready to shoot, I?d miss it.

It's a whole lot more productive to be in problem-solving mode than it is to be in behavior modification mode.

I do a good job of blocking painful, unnecessary things from my memory.
