There are good places to play and bad places.

There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days

We all assume the worst the best we can.

I'm one of those people who sort of feeds on music.

I just try to use my own life to build a human song: something that people can relate to in some way. It's not like the psychiatrist's couch or anything.

I like writing in an illustrative, descriptive way. I prefer describing to rather than explaining.

We play some smaller songs larger than they are the record, and vice versa. It took me a while to get used to playing live.

It's fun to be able to revisit a song and do something that doesn't really illustrate the song but works tangentially or runs parallel to the song in some way.

I'm kind of interested in visual communication. For me it's more about suggesting than arguing a point.

I had all these songs lying around. They had all these woman characters, and I thought the idea of the Woman King would be a good way to tie them all together.

It sort of depends on the song. Some of them are pretty easy to write, and others take a while. I do a lot of writing in the morning.

Everyone we interact with has the capacity to surprise us in an infinite number of ways. What can first open us up to each of our innate capacities for love is merely to recognize that.

Sleep is the most blessed and blessing of all natural graces.

Beauty always promises, but never gives anything.

Any cooperation that doesn't go through the Syrian government is not legal. If it's not legal, we cannot cooperate with, and we don't recognize and we don't accept.

Mexico will not be taking advantage of us. They will not be having open borders.

Nothing is more acceptable than what we are born into.

A hard beginnyng makth a good endyng.

One is as one is, and the love that can't encompass both is a poor sort of love.

Anytime you play a team sport, the success of the team really makes everything better. It's nice.

Politics, like advertising, is about people selling you things you didn't really want or need.
