I'm like part of the Kurt Cobain school of writing lyrics, which is the syntax of the words is more important than... is where it all comes from.

Music is much more of a multimedia sort of thing than I expected.

There are a million things out there every single day that trigger me - songs, smells, even the season that we're in, fall. Something about the air.

It's so easy to hate something. It's harder to genuinely appreciate something.

I'm glad that, despite everything, I was able to get work done and finish something. I never finish anything. So just being able to finish record and to make music is a great gift.

A record is worth 10,000 live shows.

There are just some things that you can't deny.

All I'm trying to do is make music that people like and that makes people happy.

I am super-interested in fashion. I love being a person whose clothes get discussed. That makes it more interesting for me.

If I play Coachella, it's sponsored by a company - that's corporate, too. But we're playing it because we're getting paid and we want to be a part of the festival.

It's totally true: Ariel, Christopher Owens, me, and Courtney Love, all in Saint Laurent ads, all with the same haircut.

What has happened in the past is gone

Decision and purpose directed actions define destination.

When the ignorant have become numerous or powerful enough, they have been referred to by a special name. This names is 'the Wise'.

If men knew themselves, God would heal and pardon them.

I love football. I'll watch the NFL before I watch any NBA.

You want to do things you’re passionate about but also are useful to other people.

While traveling our separated roads through life, we are also either road signs or potholes on the roads of others.

I don't have talent. I have tenacity.

To me, that's where a lot of satire lies. News used to hold itself to a higher plane and slowly it has dissolved into, well, me.

If you give me rice, I'll eat today; if you teach me how to grow rice, I'll eat every day.
