I’ve kissed death a thousand times before

Eternally repeating that cycle of death and rebirth, an existence such as this... truly, mine is what may be called a 'perfect existence'!

I tell the truth through music. Other people tend to catch on and agree with my truth and it turns out we are all really similar.

I wear boxers all the time. I don't really move like a girl. I mean, unless it's time for me to get dressed or something.

I want people to get out of that nasty habit of needing a label. Every genre for each song is different.

When your parents regulate everything you hear and everything you intake, it forces you to get creative in other ways.

My parents are really conservative. My dad is Muslim, and my mom is the most conservative woman you've ever met. They're very aristocratic in the most quaint suburban way.

I've always wanted an office job so I can tell someone, "I'm going to take a long lunch," or "I'm out of the office." I don't know why, but I've always seen so much stability in clocking in.

I don't listen to my own music, so to me it's awesome that people really like it. I was afraid that it wouldn't connect with everyone. I'm more appreciative than anything.

The end is where we start from. T.S. Eliot

There is no justice in following unjust laws. It's time to come into the light and, in the grand tradition of civil disobedience, declare our opposition to this private theft of public culture.

Once you pass forty, a dime isn't worth bending over to pick up if you drop one.

How can I know who I am when I am all this?

It is an outrage that people can take other people's lives when they obviously haven't got their own lives in order.

It's so much easier to know who you are when there aren't a thousand people telling you who they think you are.

I just wanna live the moment and just take every moment and embrace it because life is short.

Human nature is largely something that has to be overcome.

We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven.

Even if you lie to me...that's okay. I'll be satisfied with as much of yourself as you can give me.
