I know that the dream mind is irrational, but I like to think that if I hear something in a dream that's really good, then it's irrational... but it's not crazy.

If you live up against train tracks, it can make your life a living hell.

Bands-- enough with the crayon face-paint-- you're better than that.

I do feel like at the end of anger I have to have something that grounds it.

Some people never need to let up at all.

I've dreamed about performing songs, songs that don't even exist, as a complete song.

I actually dream a lot of songs, and I try to be good about voice-memoing ideas.

There's a definite machinery behind everything that a band does, and sometimes it's hard to figure out how far to go in delegating certain responsibilities and staying COMPLETELY DIY.

I think I'd like to see CDs disappear. Too much plastic crap lying around. If I want some music these days, I'm gonna either get as MP3s or on vinyl.

I'm even old-school Instagram. I'm here for your "What did you have to eat today?" I'm fine with that.

I would assume that everyone has an experience in their life where they knew something wasn't cool, but even if they sort of removed themselves from it, they didn't totally stop it and become a hero.

Anytime there is any lyrical meaning or combination in my mixes, it's very blatant. I'm not trying to make any statement or anything like that.

Assuredly, the size of (Cadel) Evans' heart will come to be compared to Phar Lap.

Be occupied, then, with what you really value and let the thief take something else.

I like Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Common. But I like the underground stuff like Young Jeezy, Black Rob and Shine. I also love heavy metal like Slipknot and Pantera, It's very intense stuff.
