people facts proud
I'm really proud of the fact that anywhere, at any time, I can make music. A lot of people can't do that.
technology skills people
Now you've got people who don't really have the skills, because technology hides it, going out and putting these crappy singles out, and because that's all there really is, people basically eat it like hamburgers. It's become very, very commercialized. Which wouldn't bother me as much if people actually had talent. When I listen to something and the first thing I notice is that it's been turned into crap, I shut it off and throw it out the window of my car. Like it's the most offensive thing to me.
people hunters influence
People such as Hunter S. Thompson and the Beats were a huge influence on me, not just in what they were saying, but how they said it.
people trying path
As a writer, as a lyricist, you're just trying to make sure that you're not repeating yourself. And that's a danger for a lot of people. So for me, I just try to keep taking corners and trying to find new paths.
reading laughing people
The fact that the public are mesmerised by Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and all these miserable people makes me laugh because those celebrities are more miserable than the people reading about them for escapism.
crazy people sin
I sin like crazy, but I protect my people.
thinking people i-smile
I think of how and where all the horrible people I've come across in my life ended up, and I smile.
people dignity rise-above
We are defined by our dignity to rise above debasement. We are certainly better people for doing so.
people doubt harbors
I still harbor lingering doubts about most people. I guess I always will.
father cutting people
So many people limit themselves by holding onto that baggage. They cut themselves off at the knees. And for me, meeting my father, and seeing how he was, and seeing that other side of where I came from, allowed me to kind of ascend spiritually. Now not to get all hippy or anything, but, you cant realise your potential unless you LET yourself realise your own potential.
writing people guy
I'm a very lucky guy. I get to write music that I love, and lo and behold, people seem to really like it. I know how fortunate I am.
dream people trying
Too many people chase dreams that they don't understand. Too many people try to go for things that they'd like to do, but they're not realistic enough to know they don't have the talent.
people way
The people I respect the least are the ones that take themselves way too seriously.
real cnn people
The things that scare me are real life situations. Real life is much more scary than anything you can put on the movie screen. Which is why I get very upset when people try to blame the movies for the violence in this world. I'm like 'Are you kidding me?'. There is more violence in a four hour period on CNN than any movie I have in my massive collection.
