“Everything that a guy says once, you have to say five times.”

I love being a very personal singer-songwriter, but I also like being a scientist or explorer.

With tons of chaotic supply on the internet, you’re going to have people who become very good at being curators or stylists. It’s the same sort of people that I used to go to record shops for.

I don’t like records that are the same from beginning to end, that are too styled and slick.

Love is a two way dream.

People that complete other people’s vision are understated.

I’ve always appreciated working with people I have chemistry with, who are friends, and where you feel that the work is growing while you are getting to know each other better.

I have to re-create the universe every morning when I wake up, and kill it in the evening.

Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy.

In 2008, I was more just thinking about using the touchscreen for writing the songs. From there I started thinking about how I visualised music.

When I was 18, science, physics, and math were my favorite. I was a bit of a nerd – the only girl with a lot of boys at chess championships.

I miss you, but I haven’t met you yet!

I think every year brings unknowns that you have to deal with and handle, confront and embrace.

I have always had a certain song in my head, a certain chemistry of sounds.

Our times seem to be so much about redefining where we are physical and where we’re not.

You shouldn’t let poets lie to you.

i’m back at my cliff still throwing things off i listen to the sounds they make on their way down i follow him with my eyes ’till they crash imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks.

I deny nothing, but doubt everything.

I’m just making an observation. They’re crying out for the love that maybe they didn’t get at home, and they got everything.

Time will heal everything.

The essayist is a self-liberated man, sustained by the childish belief that everything he thinks about, everything that happens to him, is of general interest.

The imagination is the spur of delights… all depends upon it, it is the mainspring of everything; now, is it not by means of the imagination one knows joy? Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise?

The obstacles preventing the realization of both these extreme states are of the same nature: they derive from our human condition which is opposed to everything infinite.

You know I was a shy guy and people didn’t know that and still don’t know it today. I’m sure basketball brought my shyness out because of the fact that you have to do interviews, and that people are always talking to you in terms of the fans and everything.

Be politically correct, but please don’t bother other people with conversation about being politically correct, because that’s the end of everything. You want to create boredom? Be politically correct in your conversation.
