“Before I go on stage, I pretend that everyone loves me.”

Nothing wrong with making money.

I think pain is the best feeling for song writing. You can write good happy songs, but I think the kind of bruiting, depressing ones are more effective.

I think that’s actually fine, and I would encourage that all the time.

I play in a band, I write songs, I sing, you know, perform on stage.

There’s nothing to win in yoga. You just do what you can do, one day to the next.

I’m not killing myself auditioning, chasing that dream

I do believe that I deserve what I have. I don’t think I’m entitled to it. That’s a big difference.

Markets are conversations.

I’ve always felt a little misrepresented in the world.

I don’t think any relationship responds well to pressure.

George Bush is just as much in the dark as I am, and it scares me.

I have a high self-opinion – I don’t need to hide that. I don’t need to be self-deprecating.

In real life, I am emotionally confused, which enables me to write songs. I’m a Pisces, and they say that Pisces are very sensitive.

Okay? That’s despicable. Right? That’s not what we’re talking about here. Whatever does it for you, man.

I don’t think you care about that as much as you care about playing music.

You wouldn’t be a complete band without a slightly cocky frontman, would you?
