 I find you get out of people what you put into them. |
| I'm not a wild and crazy person. |
| I would always encourage people of any age not to be so quick to follow other people's truths but to search and follow your own moral code and live by your own integrity, and mostly just be brave. |
| I'm not a partygoer. |
| Love bravely, live bravely, be courageous, there's really nothing to lose. There's no wrong you can't make right again, so be kinder to yourself, you know, have fun, take chances. There's no bounds. |
| I don't exist without writing. |
| So what are we given? We're also given, my generation, the disillusionment of our parents. |
| On my own I generally have very messy hair, wear jeans and sneakers. |
| I love playing big rooms. There's nothing like it. It's a power trip. |
| What's great about music is it takes so many kinds of people, including me. Everybody is in a different place. |
| If I'm a phenomenon, it makes me feel like I have no purpose. |
| I grew up doing live tours and playing in bars, so it was what I love to do. |
| The show is different every night, because I never write a setlist. |
| I tend to eat what I want, which probably isn't good. |
| I don't see the world unless I see it in ink. |
| Writing is a really good first step toward that goal of knowing yourself. |
| I love being in a band. |
| You have a different crowd every night, so you should do a different show to suit them. I tailor the show to their mood. |
| Most of us don't spend any time knowing ourselves. We just keep reacting. |
| The writers I respect the most had an undying commitment to a vision. |
