I mean it was weird. But Phoenix watched us every night. But it's like they're not even a band, they're like a corporation. They bring a staff of like 40 people.

I'm just being myself. I'm not a very complex guy; I'm not a very studious, crazy intellectual guy. I'm just a guy.

Patience is important, and also, if you don't want to do it, don't do it. But if you do, do. That's a general rule in how I live my life.

I thought I knew Elton John, but then it was like, "Woah, Elton's a pimp! He's really amazing." And since Billy and Elton are homies, I'm finally getting it - the two piano boys.

I was having a good time before, but you grow up after a couple years and realize, "I can't get drunk like this every night." Things change.

Perfectionist? Thats not something I am.

Once a song comes out, these songs aren't mine. They're everybody's. So there you go.

Regardless of how funny I want to be, I don't ever have a problem speaking from my heart or speaking honestly to people.

I take making music seriously, but you have to have a sense of humor about yourself. I invite people into my life. That's how I do it.

Journalists say my music is "blue wave," or "dreamy," or "jangly-slacker jewel," and none of it really makes sense to me.

I don't have that much experience in the studio, but I'm always really uncomfortable when I'm there. You're on the clock and it costs a lot of money.

There's no such thing as a mistake, really. It's just an opportunity to do something else.

I know what happens a the end of falling-landing

To silence criticism is to silence freedom.

Never love with all your heart, It only ends in aching.

When you travel to the Celestial City, carry no letter of introduction. When you knock, ask to see God,--none of the servants.

You're going to be a great player, kid.

Faith never denies reality but leaves room for God to grant a new reality.

Precious attribute of woe-worn humanity! that can snatch ecstatic emotion, even from under the very share and harrow, that ruthlessly ploughs up and lays waste every hope.

God knows, I'm no the thing I should be, Nor am I even the thing I could be.

No matter what you choose, build stuff and be around smart people.
