mistake action same-mistakes
We learn a lot, but the actions we don't put behind those things that we learn and we continue to make the same mistakes.
wall book writing
During the course of the day, I write things down, things I don't do anything with. Then, when I get ready to start recording, I just look through my books and I see if I can find something that stands out. That's how I come up with the off-the-wall-kinda-strange-indirect-stuff.
art reflection views
Just another point of view, I'm just a reflection of you.
important fool stage
Recording wasn't as important to me as actually being to get on stage and act the fool.
play trying cartoon
But by us doing a lot on the road, we were able to afford things like videos on the tours, cartoons that we'd open up the shows with. We were doing that way back when and now it's the hippest thing to do. We're just coming back around, I guess trying to play catch-up.
thinking the-end-of-the-day together
Yeah, because what it all boils down to is at the end of the day, we are all riding on the same boat and we have to learn how to deal with each other. I think that the music and what we do in our actions is what can kind of bring us together, hopefully.
thinking smartphones make-you-think
The smartphones and the computer separates everybody, makes you think that you don't need nobody else.
water waiting care
You have to get up and plant the seed and see if it grows, but you cant just wait around, you have to water it and take care of it.
should-have giving trying
I try to bring it across on my record, in my dress, in what I do and what I say because to me humor is important. You should have a dose of that and I guess giving it is what I'm here for.
philosophy sides side-effects
Happiness is a side effect of doing something that has nothing to do with it.
people focal-point involved
I'd like to have younger people around me and that I'll be involved with them a lot more now, as opposed to me being the main focal point.
daughter mother father
Honor thy Father and thy Mother was once said, but then someone said: What if I don't know your Father? A still voice said: Does that makes him the devil? He is still someone's Father, his name has been changed, but his story is the same. Why hate when we should Celebrate. In this world of two's, you got the Mourning Son, and the Daughter of the Night. They both equal light once you make it through the night. Now, wake the funk up!
layers higher
There's a magical layer of love that's laced, designed to take us to a higher place.
stars school mirrors
I used to draw stickmen with star glasses when I was at school. I didn't realise that would end up being me! The whole idea was that the glasses had mirrors, and if a youngster looked at me, they'd see themselves. Everybody is a star.
