“God built the Earth in seven days and seven nights, that’s how I’m going to approach doing the album. So when it’s time for me to actually finish up the album and do final cuts of everything.”

There were a lot of days when I thought maybe this isn’t what I should be doing. There’ve been a lot of days where you get to the point where you’re like.

I’m going to line it up in seven days and seven nights. I’m going to document it, out the footage out, show people it’s not a fluke.

It’s not like I feel like I’ve accomplished nothing, I just have to forget about what I’ve accomplished and just accomplish more.

“I don’t know if I’ve got the will to even do this.” It’s the type of game that doesn’t let you walk away so that’s what happened, I just kept coming back to it until something really happened for me.

When I accomplish ten times what I’ve accomplished already, I’ll start thinking about that. But a better way to put it is I kind of forget about it. I do it and I forget about it. And I just work.

I’m just going to do music and when I feel like I’ve gotten enough music to put an album together then that’s when I’m going to do it.

I’m not trying to say I accomplished nothing, I’m just trying to say that at this point in my life, I don’t want to look at what I’ve accomplished and hold it like it’s my trophy. I’ve got so much more to do; I don’t want to put that gold medal around my neck yet.

I as an artist, as an individual, I have a certain affect on people.

What you see and what you hear on YouTube and the News and all that, it’s not what it looks like, it’s not what it seems, it’s not what it is. Most of the time when you look at somebody off of an image they’ve built, it’s the exact reversal of whatever that image is.

I spent so much time focusing on haters that I forgot about the people that actually love me. And that’s who I’m focused on this time around: the people that want to listen. The people that don’t want to listen, don’t listen. This is for the people that want to.

Whether or not cutting my hair was the right decision, it empowered me.

When I do documentaries, my best information ends up on the cutting-room floor. People have trouble dealing with sexual honesty.

For years I had my hair parted down the middle in a ponytail, tucked down around the sides Well, I went and cut the bangs, and I’ve been wearing them ever since. They say it’s my trademark.

A lot of ideas get re-used and made part of new songs if the first version didn’t cut the mustard, and the stuff that gets left off usually contained the germ of something good but failed to reach a satisfactory state by the recording stage.

The key is to cut out the middleman and empower both doctor and patient with information about what things cost.

Of course it would cost something, but he was an expert in cutting corners; and when there were no more corners left he would make circles rounder.

A thousand times over, the death knell of the Bible has been sounded, the funeral procession formed, the inscription cut on the tombstone, and committal read. But somehow the corpse never stays put.

I get facials. I get a manicure and pedicure every week. I get my hair cut, and I oil myself down from head to toe. I got that from my brother. I was so impressed with how high maintenance he was. When he left the room, you could still smell him for an hour.
