Most of the time you need something to fight against. If something is bothering me, then the only way to get past it is to work through it.
I like the idea of the idler wheel - it just sits in between things, but it makes such a big difference in the way that the machine is working. That concept has always been something that has interested me, but I didn't really know why.
In a strange way, I'm way more comfortable onstage than anywhere else.
I resent limitations. I'm going to be this way for a while.
I got into therapy in the fifth grade because I said in a sarcastic way that I was going to kill myself, and they didn't get it then. Nothing's changed.
If there was a better way to go then it would find me I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me Be kind to me, or treat me mean I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine
Let me know the way, before there's hell to pay.
The way I feel about music is that there is no right and wrong. Only true and false.
You got your game, made your shot, and you got away With a lot, but I'm not turned on So put away that meat you're selling.
My biggest inspiration has been romantic relationships, because there's something about the way that you are in a relationship that is reflective of your relationship with the world.
I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream, you got your head in the clouds you're not at all what you seem.
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bedand I want to crawl in with youbut I cry instead
Now that my album is finally finished, I am very, very excited to have people hear what we did. I am so proud of it, and all of us who worked on it.
I wrote 'Criminal' in 45 minutes when everyone else went to lunch because I had to have a hit. I can force myself to do the work, but only if someone is right up behind me.
