People seem to think that folk music is people with acoustic guitars. Or punk music is people with mohawks, leather jackets.

Hell is a swamp, to me - not as something fiery, but as something dank, moist, and wet.

I think it's cool to give people encouragement.

I didn't really know why I wanted to go to college. I didn't really have a reason to go there other than the fact that everybody else was doing it.

I'm not against being proud of where you come from but I feel like sometimes the divisions are a little too bold and it hurts us more than it helps us.

Music can be so manipulating - especially in terms of horror. It's such an important part of building the tension.

There's something scary about the unknown. And maybe the scariest movies couldn't ever be made because they are too deep in somebody's head, too unknown to get out.

I definitely don't want to play by myself. I don't relate to playing music that way. I like interacting with people.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive.

Ministry is the least important thing. You cannot not minister if you are in communion with God and live in community.

I just stood there staring, because while I've seen a lot of weird things, I hadn't ever seen that.

The greatest value comes from loving yourself for who you are. I've been teaching myself this for years, so I hope that by showing what I've learned, others can find the same freedom and joy I have.

Education is extremely important, especially in my business, the music business.

A photograph is not necessarily a lie, but it isn't the truth either. It's more like a fleeting, subjective impression.

If you do not overcome your tendency to give up easily, your life leads to nothing.

When people screw up, give them a second chance.

I'm sort of like a specialist. I go in, do what I do and every four years, they get tired of me and I have to relocate myself.
