“There is nothing stable in the world; uproar’s your only music.”

And when thou art weary I’ll find thee a bed, Of mosses and flowers to pillow thy head.

A hope beyond the shadow of a dream.

I wish I was either in your arms full of faith, or that a Thunder bolt would strike me.

I want a brighter word than bright.

I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days – three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.

If something is not beautiful, it is probably not true.

I wish to believe in immortality-I wish to live with you forever.

Health is the greatest of blessings – with health and hope we should be content to live.

Music is really driving my whole life.

I’ve dreamed about doing music since I was three or four years old.

I’m not going to do anything crazy, but I want to do music that I’m passionate about.

Military justice is to justice what military music is to music.

My school had a radio show, and when I first decided to become a rapper, I was on there, and I would, like, freestyle.

It’s not always easy to be transparent about your emotions and sometimes the music can get heavy.

I don’t really believe in the type of pressure that people are wanting to put on the type of music that I make.

I didn’t know how to deal with success. If there was a Rock Star 101, I would have liked to take it. It might have helped me.
