Obviously there's so much about me on the Internet that you can turn against me, and you can make me into any person you want.

Music is much more of a multimedia sort of thing than I expected.

There are a million things out there every single day that trigger me - songs, smells, even the season that we're in, fall. Something about the air.

It's so easy to hate something. It's harder to genuinely appreciate something.

There are just some things that you can't deny.

It was the failures who had always won, but by the time they won they had come to be called successes.

There are two sentences inscribed upon the Ancient oracle... "Know thyself" and "Nothing too much"; and upon these all other precepts depend.

I get to kind of pretend I'm going to play baseball. I get to work out and do all the stuff that was part of baseball. I just don't get to play.

As for where I am now, well, social media didn't exist when I was a child, and I never would have guessed just how much of a role in my life and career technology would play.

But now, I am also learning this: we can be mended. We mend each other.

One gains by losing self for others and not by hoarding for oneself.
