Now that I'm feeling the responsibilities of adulthood, the choices we make become an incredible weight.

If I don't have an outlet in which to express myself...throug h songwriting or other mediums...I get a bit jittery.

A friend is a friend forever And a good one will never leave, never

I'm a bit of a magpie: whatever I see or hear or read feeds into the songs.

Oh! To not need cognitive justification for every single thing. Wouldn't that be a life?

I was an incredibly misanthrope. I couldn't relate to people my age, and I'm not sure why, as I wasn't particularly smart or interesting

I feel sometimes that I'm in a constant state of being lost in translation, and I guess that why I write songs.

No one starts playing my kind of music to make a fortune. But I do want to keep doing what I do and I do want to continue selling records. And I would, eventually, quite like some money.

Life and death are important. Don't suffer them in vain.

Do not determine to change your life eventually. If you have decided to change your life, it is already changing.

Follow your own weird.

You can't make a representation and then claim you didn't make it. You know, it just shouldn't work that way.

The attention of the media is only caught by acts of violence... so I must perform this act of violence against myself.

The hardest problems of pure and applied science can only be solved by the open collaboration of the world-wide scientific community.

The true America is the Middle West, and Columbus discovered nothing at all except another Europe.
