“I think for it to be hip to be idealistic is weird, you know? I mean, even all the best rebels to me, had some sense of hope in them.”

I think it’s important to always offer something new.

You get in there, you get the job done and you get the hell out.

Gonna wind it up on my guitar. Gonna make that silver sing.

Oh yeah, alright, take it easy baby, make it last all night. She was an American Girl.

Lord, please watch over all these lost children born to chase the hurricane.

I’ve never had any idea that what I like would resonate with the audience, and I’m pleasantly surprised when it does.

That’s stupid. You couldn’t pay me to go. I’m not oversimplifying it. That’s what’s going on. I don’t think it would be any fun without the drugs. It’s a drug party.

If you stretch your imagination, I’ll tell you all a tale, about a time when everything wasn’t up for sale.

Go after what you really love and find a way to make that work for you, and then you’ll be a happy person.

The waiting is the hardest part.

I think everybody pees in the pool. It’s kind of a normal thing to do for swimmers.

We’re involved in a society which is undergoing some really weird changes now.

I did stand-up, weird and ignorant stuff about my career – anything for a laugh.

Everything will be all right – you know when? When people, just people, stop thinking of the United Nations as a weird Picasso abstraction and see it as a drawing they made themselves.

Scripture is so counter culture. Christ was counter culture. It’s not like we’re supposed to be weird or anything, but as we grow closer to Christ.

There’s no real template to follow these days for what a band should and shouldn’t be – bands are just becoming these weird little Internet avatars that you either follow or download or interact with in some removed way.

You start reverting back to that state of mind where you’re having conversations with yourself, and that’s where the weirdest and most honest ideas come from.
