Real power is being able to take care of yourself. My job is to make art, but I aspire to do more than that.

Everyone has golden years sparsely throughout their life, but good things happen and then good things disappear. But you'll always have those good times, and when you're on your deathbed you'll be able to look back on those times when you were with the girl of your dreams.

You can't reminisce too much. Because you've got to keep pushing forward, you know?

A lot of artists are aspiring to fill an archetype as opposed to being themselves. Even if they can't quite put their finger on it, fans can tell.

Usually in church, when the congregation is overcome by the Holy Spirit for a moment, the people will interrupt the sermon to yell their praises, and dance for joy.

I sing to myself more than anything. I'm always chastising myself, telling myself to be better, or comforting myself.
