I feel there is love and confidence in me somewhere and I want to find it. So far, music is the only medium that's allowed me to flirt with a sense of self-worth, with joy and comfort.

I don't want to interact with people but I do get lonely.

I like walking around and listening to music. When my steps coincide with a beat, in my head I feel in unison with the world that I'm living in.

I'm honestly flattered and humbled that anyone would show interest in something I've done, forever.

I love music, but more for the context within the music than a certain sound.

Sometimes leaving is the only way to be there for someone.

I've felt love from certain songs that I've wanted to experience from other people - where I know that love may never happen - and I want to give that to someone else.

I don't know why people would be interested in what I do. Maybe they feel how I feel. Maybe it's because we're all missing something, and I just happen to wear that on my sleeve.

There isn't a difference between how I feel in the world and how I feel as a musician, or someone who writes. They are one in the same. It's just a different presentation.

You can't expect drive and compassion from everyone who enters your life, but you have to demand it of the people you are creating with.

I don't know why I've spent over half of My life talking about dying

The person you see is the person you will be.

Smile pretty and watch your back

To succeed, jump as quickly at opportunities as you do at conclusions.

There is absolutely no record ever of Hillary Clinton or anyone in her campaign ever saying that President [Barack] Obama is not legitimate.

I'll pour you the first one and after that, if you don't have one, it's your own f****** fault. You know where it is.

After a war, after a concentration camp, I find it's not too difficult to be happy.

Don't be a hero. Don't have an ego. Always question yourself and your ability. Don't ever feel that you are very good. The second you do, you are dead.

Men fall in love with their eyes. Women fall in love with their ears.

You cannot be half a saint; you must be a whole saint or no saint at all.

While 9-5 and what happens on the job is important, what happens from 5-9, off the job, is infinitely more important.
