thinking feelings feels
I don't wanna think, I wanna FEEL.
song mean trying
I don't work so hard at trying to get every song to be three-dimensional and mean so much. I just want to breathe, right now, with the music.
song eye self
Before music videos first came out, you’d listen to a song with headphones on, sitting in a beanbag chair with your eyes closed, and you’d come up with your own visions, these things that came from within. Then all of a sudden, sometimes even the very first time you heard a song, it was with these visual images attached, and it robbed you of any form of self-expression.
artist lists kind
You can go down the list of great artists and kind of understand that they are products of their environment. Whether it's U2 or Henry Rollins or myself or Johnny Lydon, they're gonna be products of their environment.
thinking differences offering
I think that if your approach is one where you don't want to alienate anybody, you're going to have to soften the viewpoint or the information that you're offering to such an extent that it doesn't have the power to make any difference. You have to take that risk.
thinking years hopeful
As far as viewpoints, I think I'm more well-rounded and definitely more educated, and probably more hopeful than I used to be. I think when you're young and you get into a cause, you get frustrated with it within a few years, or six months.
order dutch speak
Is it O.K. that I speak in English? The only thing I know in Dutch is how to order pot.
darkness wave invites
Darkness comes in waves...tell me, why invite it to stay?
girl shoes climbing
Everytime I see the Spice Girls, it makes me want to try to fly by climbing my roof and strapping bricks to my shoes.
pay
I would do anything to be around music. You don't even have to pay me.
inspirational life revenge
The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself.
religious growing-up animal
People on death row, the treatment of animals, women's right to choose. So much in America is based on religious fundamentalist Christianity. Grow up! This is the modern world!
believe breathing flesh
Sure as I am breathing, sure as I'm sad I'll keep this wisdom in my flesh I leave here believing more than I had This love has got no ceiling
moving moving-forward
Life moves fast. As much as you can learn from your history, you have to move forward.
