I'm constantly failing, but not upset about it. I think there's a great deal to learn from that.
So many people have tried to get happiness and serenity from outside things; it's pretty much common knowledge that is a road to nowhere. I've never heard anybody say, 'Fame made me the complete person I am.' Well, I'm sure people have said it, but nobody I respect.
Live your life for anyone but yourself
I fail enough and I beat myself up enough. I don't need anybody else to do it for me.
Follow your dreams.No matter what
I don't know, when I was a kid, when I would see shows that changed my life, I would go to see shows where there was my mother taking us to see classic rock concerts, like Zeppelin, or when I saw Pink Floyd or when I saw, you know, when I was a little older, and I saw Nine Inch Nails, and I saw The Cure.
Dream big while you sleep, and even bigger when you're awake.
I’m pretty masochistic. I kill myself for my craft – Literally
I wanted to be a visual artist because I grew up around a lot of painters and photographers and had a very artistic upbringing. And I fantasized about being a drug-dealer when I was a kid. I thought it would be a good opportunity; I knew that the market would be strong. Is that bizarre?
If I wasn’t making music I would probably be in the woods with a big deer….Talking to myself.
If I was ever a teen idol, I’d kill myself.
The idea that I would ever end up on David Letterman or Jay Leno is horrifying. I am such a freak in comparison to most other twenty-five-year-old guys. I have no idea what other people are thinking. I’m not really in touch.
High school is a dark place; I hung out with ‘freaks.’
It was great growing up a nomad. To this day I still love hiking and back packing.
