My music has to do with imaginary things, so I took that concept and used the whole "the music is not the truth" mantra as a way to market myself.

I took four years of violin, but got bored of it - over the years, I've been ADD with instruments. The only two that I've really stayed true to are guitar and piano.

The music is not the truth.

You're alive, Bod. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you change the world, the world will change.

Every problem has a solution. You may not see it in front of you, but, sooner or later, a solution will appear before your eyes.

You have to be willing to be afraid if you're going to be an artist.

As a business you should probably be examining, hey, is this the type of message we want to send?

The stuff I write isn't strictly autobiographical, but it's personal, if that makes any sense. It draws all these little incidents and people out of my life and then contorts them.

Philip Glass once told me, "They can always copy what you've done, but they can't copy what you're going to do."

Every good thing great and small needs defense

Converse with men makes sharp the glittering wit, But God to man doth speak in solitude.

I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.
