I don't want to be overdramatic about it, but I'm starting to see a lot of my bad habits get the best of me.

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 dreamt -- marvellous error! -- that I had a beehive here inside my heart. And the golden bees were making white combs and sweet honey from my old failures.

I lived with my mother for only a short time. Even though I left, she is always surrounding me with her love.

Memories leave a light in the eyes, just as plain as scars.

The world would be a very sad place if readers could only love one story.

I love market research because you really have an idea of what your consumers are looking for.

His energy is very malevolent. Don't get sick or I'll start asking you if the baby is all right in front of him.

Always remember, you are beautiful.

I think for everyone it's good to have your own personal work on a character and a film before you even start rehearsing, to have an inner life.

You never know where a blessing can come from.
