If you wrap yourself in daffodils I will wrap myself in pain...

That's where the songs come from: that's what I'd most want people to understand. What sounds good or looks good, that's nothing. The only worthwhile thing in art is seeing someone else's heart.

Time and time again I can't please myself.

If you want to really love someone, you've got to let go and loosen up and just care.

I can remember being eight years old and having infinite possibilities. But life ends up being so much less that we thought it would be when we were kids, with relationships that are so empty and stupid and brutal. If you don't find a way to break the chain and change in some way, then you wind up, as the rhyme goes: a murder of one, for sorrow.

When you're young and you play music, you have a peer group, you come out of a scene. There's a lot of people you know, and then you have some success, and it all goes away.

A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.

We waste a lot of our lives sometimes. There are people sitting across from us who would make the whole world better if we spent more time with them in it, but we can't get across that gully.

The nice thing about being on stage is it's not that I know what to do, but I have a very clear feeling that anything I do is OK. All I'm up there to do is express how I feel. Any way I choose to do that is fine.

Over and over again in my life, I find closeness to other people and proximity to other people really painful that's part of my mental illness, social anxiety. Closeness to other people is really hard, but it's also a shame because it's all you want too. But it doesn't always work.

Your misery is everyone else's entertainment.

If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.

I have a lot of problems understanding connections between people and how to negotiate that. It makes everything hard offstage.

Image
I'm really good in pain. I snapped my leg in half on stage and played a whole show. But I can't sit there with someone that loves me.

There is nothing more important you can ever do for this world than to wake up and be a part of it.
