Three years between records is longer than average. Double albums are much more of a statement. I really wanted to put myself out there as much as I possibly could.

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.

I'm glad that, despite everything, I was able to get work done and finish something. I never finish anything. So just being able to finish record and to make music is a great gift.

A record is worth 10,000 live shows.

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

All I'm trying to do is make music that people like and that makes people happy.

When ignorance is passed down for a long time without giving it a second thought, it leads to evil because you are doing it without knowledge.

When someone refuses listening to reason disaster will surely follow.

How can you be content to be in the world like tulips in a garden, to make a fine show, and be good for nothing.

We have years to converse with someone, to blurt and rant, to explain our desires and anger and regrets - and oh how we squander those moments.

Keep thou an open door between thy child's life and thine own.

[T]he burden of government is not measured by how much it taxes, but by how much it spends.
