“I never think about myself as an artist working in this time. I think about it in macro.”

I don’t have any secrets I need kept any more.

The work is the work. The work is not me.

Any of us can live without affecting one another.

It’s a bad religion to be in love with someone who could never love you.

When you’re happy you enjoy the music, but when you’re sad you understand the lyrics.

Don’t ever play with someone’s feelings, you could win the game but you could lose that person forever.

I don’t know anything and neither do you.

Art’s everything we hope life would be, a lot of times.

I enjoy singing music with my audience.

It’s more interesting for me to figure out how to be superior in areas where I’m naive, where I’m a novice.

Never run back to what broke you.

It’s hard to articulate how I think about myself as a public figure.

I know that we sin but I do believe we try, we all try.

I’m extremely compassionate, loving, all of those warm fuzzy things, but the outer shell doesn’t project that all the time.

As long as your intentions are solid and about growth and progression and being productive and not being idle, then you’re doing good in my book.

We all know we have a finite period of time. I just feel if I’m going to be alive, I want to be challenged – to be as immortal as possible. The path to that isn’t an easy way, but it’s a rewarding way.

Being an artist is way more interesting than just being a model because it’s about you and what you want to be.

The more I become decomposed, the more sick and fragile I am, the more I become an artist.

I think it’s really cool when artists have song titles or album names that are a really conversational sentence.

It’s rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing.

All my favorite artists and fashion icons and models are from the Nineties. Everybody was just so fearless.

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.

I’m a really artistic person, and so, with the live stuff, there’s a lot that I think is really cool.

Give me a museum and I’ll fill it.
