This is the thing I've noticed is that the greater the distance between you and any ordinary task is the measurement of how much rockstar potential you have.

It bothers me that no one has the patience to deal with someone who is just sad.

I think if I were living in a utopian world, then it wouldn't be political commentary; it would be about daffodils.

It's a strange life... you really don't know how you will impact people or how things will play out.

Being alive and understanding that and making the decision to actually live take a lot of courage.

Sometimes it's better to live through someone's work than the person themselves, and to realise that every human being is flawed, but through art they can be perfect.

I just write what comes to me. I didn't sit down and say ok, here is my statement. It's just a song that has a shout out.

Generally I try to read anything but indie rock journalism or anything about music at all, especially in the summer.

The writing process is very much like being in a dark tunnel, and you don't really know what you will end up with until you have created it.

Until the day we die, our lives are unwritten, which is sometimes a terrifying thought.

It's not my fault that people are perverts.

Some who grow dull religious straight commenceAnd gain in morals what they lose in sense.

Trust your sacred-soul. It is a divine self.

Hmm. I think love is about loving all things, to treat each and every thing and every one as a sovereign being that’s free to make its own choices.

I see that even as the world plunges into darkness and peril, you two stand around discussing your love lives. Teenagers.

Where I come from, they don't think much of men who are bossed about by their wives.

...because a life without meaning, without drive or focus, without dreams or goals, isn't a life worth living.

Then once you get people locked up, it's an incredibly inhuman system.

When the day is done the most important thing is loving people and sharing love.

The whole thing of working in collaboration with filmmakers is the thing that I love the most, and possibly the thing I do the best.

Just saying you are better than good won't make it so. But, when you understand what it takes to live the better than good life, and you apply yourself, your life will truly be better than good.
