“I have nothing against reverb.”

You know, I grew up very self-taught.

In my perfect world, I get to be a professional musician and still go to Trader Joe’s.

I think we’re always looking for ways to inject a sense of humor into our music.

If I have experienced something in my life, it’s probably going to be written about, and I don’t particularly care if the person I’m writing about wants to be written about.

There’s no other person I like working with as much as my sister.

I mainly try to foster long-term collaborative relationships.

I am not a very superstitious person, but I do believe in mental preparation.

Working on TV shows was fun, but I felt crazy pressured and stressed.

I came to NAMM once and saw this guitar that self-tuned, and I thought, ‘Wow, this is the future!’ And I’ve never seen it again.

If you’re thinking about all the possibilities of your life, there are extreme negatives, which you hope don’t happen, and extreme positives, which you just aren’t willing to think about because you think you’ll jinx it.

The amount of times I’ve been told something by artists I’m working with, which I’m sure they haven’t told even their significant other or families, is shocking.

The excuse of having a dog is great, because before I had a dog, I wouldn’t be like, ‘I need to go hike for two hours’; my girlfriend would have been like, ‘What are you doing?’ Now I take the dog, and she comes with me.

There’s always a better word than a swear word.

Well, predominately, if I’m writing for another artist, I’m sitting there with them and we’re writing it together.

It’s always important to be checking in with people you love.

Our mom cooks well, and we cook poorly. We try.

The more I get better, the opposition has to get better.

Is there any man here or any woman, let me say is there any child here, who does not know that the seed of war in the modern world is industrial and commercial rivalry?

There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.

There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.

To see a man beaten not by a better opponent but by himself is a tragedy.

As socialists, we are opponents of the Jews, because we see in the Hebrews the incarnation of capitalism, of the misuse of the nation’s goods.

Saina is not someone special player that I have to win against. It’s not like that I must beat her. She is one of the players.

Holy shadows of the dead, I am not to blame for your cruel and bitter fate, but the accursed rivalry which brought sister nations and brother people to fight one another.
