You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness, Like resignation to the end, Always the end.

Often times at a concert, I just close my eyes. Music is very transportive and visual for me like that.

I could quite happily just make music because it conjures up a whole visual world for me in my mind.

Through the music I hope to give it an arc that gives it a greater sense of a journey through the set rather than a bunch of songs.

Emotionally, I feel mostly out-of-depth, like I will never quite learn how to be what I should be. And that makes me feel pretty vulnerable a lot of the time.

What makes me vulnerable? Well, my ego, probably. I kind of like to try to let go of it. Or feeling out of my depth. In various aspects of my life, whether it's musical or personal.

When I started covering The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in a rock 'n' roll band, it helped me realize that my natural voice is actually really high. It helped me find my voice.

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number.

Music makes me want to dance but I'm not sure that's something anybody wants to observe.

I tend to just do whatever I want on an album and try to make it work. I'm just adventurous. It's most exciting to be at the edge of your abilities. I want to see how far I can push things.

I've been very lucky to work with many amazing animators and directors who can interpret and extend the music I make. When it's done well, it can create extra meaning and new context for the song.

Hope is a mistake. If you cant fix what's broken, you will go insane.

Time is your most precious resource; make every minute count.

Federer said something interesting once. He said that he was watching Rod Laver, and me, and he said he was trying to copy us and to be like us. And that’s a great compliment for us.

Many evangelicals believe religious freedom, if not religion itself, faces major problems with the government in the future.

A lot of celebrities, especially when you're talking about the really big ones, live in what I call the fame bubble. Nobody ever says no to them or challenges them or even teases them.

'Adult Swim' on the Cartoon Network is unbelievable. And 'South Park' continues to do great stuff. And 'Family Guy' and the various other Seth MacFarlane projects are amazing.

I am in favor of stem-cell research. I am not in favor of creating new human embryos through cloning.

I wasn't strong when I was young. The puck was maybe too heavy. I guess I tried to move the puck from side to side to keep from getting hit.

Real music lovers are actually my favourite kind of people because they like to know, rather than just be told what to think.

I think everybody gets lonely sometimes. I don't know if people can ever understand how you can be in a room full of people and be lonely sometimes.
