You need to get outside of your comfort zone to write songs that are interesting, songs that are compelling, songs that are different from what other people are writing.
Expectations are resentments waiting to happen
Live tonight, cuz you can't take it with ya.
Strip away the fear, underneath it's all the same love
I want to be someone who is respected and not just in terms of my music. I want to be respected in terms of the way that I treat people... Music is my creative outlet in terms of expressing what is important to me; what has importance, what has a value. And I wanna be respected for that.
A life lived for art, is never a life wasted.
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are.
I see a lot of people dressing very similarly, and I see brands being cool because of their name and because of who wears the brands, but that's always been the case. That's kind of the history of fashion. You know, celebrities wear their clothes and people think these celebrities are cool, and then the clothes become valuable. It gives clothes a commodity factor once a certain individual starts wearing that brand. But do I think there's something wrong? I think what's wrong with the fashion world, particularly men's fashion, is the lack of creativity behind it.
Make the money, don't let the money make you Change the game, don't let the game change you
The moment is now and we cant get it back from the grave.
Just because you miss someone doesn't mean you need them back in your life. Missing is just a part of moving on.
Don't forget where you come from Don't die holding on to your words Cause you know you got a whole world to change But understand who you got to change first
The skyline is etched in my veins. You can never put that out, no matter how hard it rains.
Music is therapy. Music moves people. It connects people in ways that no other medium can. It pulls heart strings. It acts as medicine.
