talking important
My life isn't necessarily more important than anyone else's: I'm just better in talking about it.
remember moments i-can
I can't remember all the times I've tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass
people creative process
There just is exponentially more money in the movie business than in the music business. As a result there are more people involved in the creative process.
embrace
You want to embrace, but I can't figure out how to hold on to it.
letting-go care
If you want to really love someone, you've got to let go and loosen up and just care.
people stage ask-me
People ask me if I have stage fright. I say, "God, no, I'm completely comfortable there. I have rest-of-the-day fright."
nice feelings way
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.
people feel-good together
You have to kind of shift the way you look at life when you're in a group of people that you work with. It's not so much, do they make you feel good when you're around them all the time; it's how can you make everyone feel comfortable together.
people sitting world
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.
priorities band
Being in a band is about making the band the priority.
people understanding connections
I have a lot of problems understanding connections between people and how to negotiate that. It makes everything hard offstage.
embrace
You don't understand what makes you understand what makes your life better until you take something that makes it so much worse and you embrace that.
creativity fighting ideas
It's impossible having five, six, seven people in a room being creative together and not fight, because you want to fight. It's the only way creativity works, if you all put your ideas in.
fighting winning heartbreaking
Losing fights, or even winning fights, can be heartbreaking, and you can throw that away, but the truth is that it does make our lives better.
