I pray to the architect that designed me. I'm grateful.

I believe animals should be respected as citizens of this earth. They should have the right to their own freedom, their own families, and their own life.

Whether I'm stressed out or angry or happy or depressed - however I feel, I say "I love my life," no matter what. That usually keeps me centered.

How do I not get so wrapped up in what I think needs to happen? Going with the flow is the way to do it.

Nothing is for sure. Change is the only thing that is the absolute.

As an artist and a songwriter myself, I like to feel connected to modern culture and watch how sounds change.

I love just going out; long drives, the ocean, my kids, new music, new gear, new plug-ins, coffee, and donuts at four in the morning. Even just waking up and writing.

I've learned that each day is definitely a gift.

I do pranayama breathing now as a meditation, and that's very helpful. Meditating changed my life.

Walking my dogs, playing with my kids - all of that is really good stuff to keep me centered.

I meditate every day for between ten to twenty minutes. Every morning, I work out and go to the gym for an hour. I pray to the architect that designed me. I'm grateful.

You don’t have to bewitch me, Aiden. I like you already.

Dealing in generalities is the death of prayer.

Vices and virtues are of a strange nature, for the more we have, the fewer we think we have.

Americans are a very backward people, with all the real virtues of a backward people; the patriarchal simplicity and human dignity of a democracy, and a respect for labor uncorrupted by cynicism.

We have woven a web, you and I, attached to this world but a separate world of our own invention.

Effort and result are never simultaneous. In art, only the result counts.

We all have insecurities but you have to know you’re beautiful.

I got a little tired of movies where I had to shoot people. I got to thinking about the power of film and what that power is. The power is in fact that it really can change people's minds.

There are people who don't vote for a lot of reasons, sometimes as a statement.
