I'm ripe for the picking for the Scientologists - one of those creeps. Someone's got to find me. Some little weird cult can just pluck me up, because I'm ripe for the picking.
Conor Oberst
You mean nothing to no one but that's nobody's fault...
Conor Oberst
I think it is more like a ghost that has been following us both. Something vague that we're not seeing, something more like a feeling.
Conor Oberst
Men with purple hearts carry silver guns and they will kill a man for what his father has done. But what my father did, I don't live it: no, I am not him.
Conor Oberst
I have many friends who are both Mexican and Mexican-American and others who, I guess you would say, are somewhere in between. The ironic thing is that all three of those categories often exist inside of the same family.

My head's a carousel of pictures and The spinning never stops.
