My dad and I get into it all the time. He loves to discuss politics much more than I do and we have pretty heated conversations.

One thing that I've struggled with has been a certain amount of animosity toward the whole human race.

Humans are social creatures that really crave intimacy.

There's no real reason for me to be so obsessed with trying to understand the true nature of things. You can live a perfectly happy life being utterly confused and not knowing.

I do like talking with friends about big concepts, you know, the stuff that will ruin a party. To me, the party hasn't begun until we're talking about the nonexistence of God.

I tend to [have] a lot of ideas but then just leave them in that infant form and kind of move on.

I'm not really excited about the idea of committing to anything permanently.

I was a regular dork. I was a kid who was scrawny and all that, and probably kind of dumb or something. I wasn't unordinary; I wasn't extraordinary.

I have no ethics when it comes to art. You just do what you can to make it as beautiful as you can.

I suppose, if someone was into baseball for an extended period of time during their formative years, they're always going to be interested in it.

I really [enjoy] working with new people and just sort of the freshness of it. ... I [want] to have those new conversations, musically and otherwise.

Daring greater life is a divine act.

The power-hungry individual follows a path to his own destruction.

I want to stand on the belief that great things are the product of ordinary people who are made great when they stand.

It's sad when people break up.

Although I have a variety of obligations, the climate crisis is my central concern.

I always admire people who have passion.

If I can give you any advice, it's this: every hour that you spend sat on the couch doing nothing, put it to good use, because when you have kids, an hour is like a lifetime.

The novel I am constantly writing is always the same one, and it might be described as a variously sliced-up or torn-apart book of myself.

Honorable industry always travels the same road with enjoyment and duty, and progress is altogether impossible without it.

I sort of see [cannabis] as the pilot light of Gian consciousness.
