“Stay in the Word. The moment you start letting go of that, you’re on the road to compromise.”

So for me it’s very good to just be able to re-charge and just disappear and escape from reality and that’s usually when I write most of my lyrics and my songs.

You work so hard at something to make sure that it’s very pure and very genuine and very steadfast to who you are, so creative control for me is a big one.

Unearthing buried bits of nostalgia from deep within and spreading the broken, jagged pieces out in front of you like a display of junk at a garage sale.

For me, it’s always best to just push everything out and just disappear by myself alone somewhere – and it’s kind of like a need of mine.

I’m so fascinated with audio gear and recording techniques and whatnot, it’s pretty mesmerizing.

Usually, whatever’s in front of me is what I’m focused on and it’s 100% on that and then I kind of move from one thing to the next.

And I’m like, “I don’t know. That’s just the way I am.” So if I found the perfect girl she would totally get that and say, “You’re quiet, and that’s the way I love you.

It’s very cool for me to be able to get in an airplane and fly for fourteen hours

It makes you feel cheap and guilty when you didn’t do a thing in the world to kindle the dull burn in your veins or the sting in your eyes.

I really do like surprises.

But yeah I’m very much a spontaneous guy and it’s sort of hard for me to multi-task and to have all these things going on at once.

I ache with everything in me to make it count, so that when I finally cross the finish line, I’ll hear the words, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.

I’ve been around many girls who have been super outgoing.

Their stunned silence was always very reassuring.

Cultivates and nurtures an entirely new species of headache.

And a lot of times, they would say to me, “Why are you so quiet? What’s wrong with you?”

Remember who you are. Don’t compromise for anyone, for any reason. You are a child of the Almighty God. Live that truth.

We were made for more than compromise. We were made for God’s promises in every area of our lives.

Whatever you compromise to gain, you will lose.

Never, absolutely never, compromise your principles.

If you do it first class and you don’t compromise values, and you don’t compromise quality, and you don’t compromise service, and you don’t compromise cleanliness, then everybody else who is the competitor has got to play catch-up.

Learn the wisdom of compromise. it’s better to bend a little, rather than break relations forever.

We must always go for the best. Do not compromise on quality. Reject if it is not the best – not only the best in India, but globally.

Oh, how horrible our sins look when they are committed by someone else.
