I want to be around these positive, expressive people who are doing something different and who also want to get the hell out of there and don't want to be around basic human bullshit.

If you push hard enough you can change. You can take everything you know and round it up, turn it into something else, and keep turning things into something else.

When I'm in the mode of feeling positive about love, I don't really feel the need to mark it down in song. In fact, I know what that song would sound like, and I would not subject anybody to that.

My father was a psychiatrist and a social worker but he was a very talented painter and musician and writer on the side.

Ten years is a pretty good run for anything.

It's insane when someone shows up to your show and is like, "You could run off with me right now!" I'm like, "It's cool, I think I'm gonna go read."

There are a lot of spikes that can happen when what you're doing starts to get attention or people start to talk about it. They can just kind of really do a number on your reasons for making music.

Hearing that [David] Bowie passed was like you don't really believe it. It's as if the sky shifted a little bit, to remind you it was there.

I like the model of people getting together to make something when they want to do it and not being dictated to by a cycle.

I have nothing against people getting their band back together, but the artists I love marked a time in my life, and to merge that time with now can be personally depressing.

Most of the bands that I really like no longer exist. That might just be because I'm in my thirties or whatever. But I also think it's the rare band that doesn't, like, turn into something else.

Animals are my friends...and I don't eat my friends.

religion is no longer the opium of the people but the vitamin pills of the feeble.

Being an entrepreneur is a mental job...It takes patients! YOU are doing more motivation to yourself than anyone on this planet.

Take it slow. We want to know what’s ahead before what’s ahead knows we’re here.

Character determines fate.

For a long time I was looking for my perfect equilibrium, my mojo. And now I think I'm getting there: I've found my customer, my silhouette, my cut.

I took a wrong turn the other day. A mistake, but it led me to the shop where I found the very thing I’d been searching for.

There are no mistakes or accidents. The present is malleable. Influence the odds. Free will is your pen, write your life.

It is no disgrace not to be able to do everything; but to undertake, or pretend to do, what you are not made for, is not only shameful, but extremely troublesome and vexatious.

Be drunk with LOVE, for Love is all that exists.
