When you make art, you get really invested in it. When art happens by accident and you were just along for the ride? It's way more fun.
Fear is killing us, but true love can survive. If we cooperate, we can beat doubt. But first, rebuild trust. Take responsibility. Happiness is still free, though not always apparent when it's right in front of us. So keep calm, it's gonna get better.
I'm very much a night person. Morning is a thing I only experience because I have to.
You could be your own spotlight!
No one's busy thinking bad things about you. They're all too busy thinking bad things about themselves.
Probably the most cold-hearted thing I ever did. There was this spider in my shower - and I'm usually very kind to all of the creatures of the world - and you feel very vulnerable when you're naked, and I didn't really want to be near this spider he was kinda big and gnarly looking. The only thing that I could reach in the shower was this hairspray. So I hairspray-ed this spider to death, which was awful. I felt like such a jerk. It was really, really harsh.
Why do we make records? Because we want to say something. Why are you in art? Because you want to say something. The second you don't have anything to say, you stop making art - you might start making product. And I'm interested in being an artist.
Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger. The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger.
Every band always tells you to raise your middle finger...
When you have a bad day, a really bad day, try to treat the world better than it treated you.
I moved to L.A. and really didn't dig living there until I found places like Koreatown and Little Tokyo. I really like hanging out in the grocery stores and restaurants.
I've learned a lot about things because of the Internet. I'm happy with it, but it's a long road for me. I'm still definitely a little anti.
