“Above all, we must understand that in leaving the toxic ways of the present we are healing ourselves, our places, and our planet. We rebel not as a last act of desperation but as a first act of creation.”

No offense to people who go on Tinder but I just feel like it’s ruining romance, I really do.

One-hundred percent, even now I doubt myself. I don’t understand what people hear in my voice. I can’t hear it myself, if you know what I mean.

To control and enslave the minds of men, all one must do is convince them that a secret exists, and that he is privy to information regarding that secret; hence the power of priests and psychics.

Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys.

In the Lonely Hour is about a guy that I fell in love with last year, and he didn’t love me back. I think I’m over it now, but I was in a very dark place. I kept feeling lonely in the fact that I hadn’t felt love before.

I’ve actually tasted the beer; it’s quite nice. It’s called Samuel Smith, which is my actual name. It’s good beer. Maybe that’s my favorite.

I used to have a little whisky before I went on stage. I realized that could have slowly turned into something a bit more serious. I get hyped up. I also think doing it a lot, you get used to it. You get more confidence. It’s confidence building, really.

I’ve only been in unrequited relationships where people haven’t loved me back. I guess I’m a little bit attracted to that in a bad way.

Would to God, brethren, I could tell you WHO I am! Would to God I could tell you WHAT I know! But you would call it blasphemy and want to take my life!

Nature has no cure for this sort of madness, though I have known a legacy from a rich relative work wonders.

I didn’t become successful until I became myself.

All will be raised by the power of God, having spirit in their bodies, and not blood.

I actually have OCD really bad, and it’s getting a bit worse at the moment. I have to check taps before I leave the house, to make sure I’ve checked everything in case it floods.

Polls are the corporate media’s standardized tests to determine how well we have learned what it has taught us.

I think a lot of people don’t wear their hearts on their sleeves. I think people should, but a lot of people don’t.

It was only until I started to be myself that the music started to flow and people started to listen. So, thank you guys.
