Hypocrisy: prejudice with a halo.
It really took me a long time to become comfortable as a performer. I think I'm finally starting to enjoy playing live.
I think a lot of people read the album cover as something scary or creepy. I think it's something positive. . . something lasting.
I wish I could be invisible and just play music and not have to worry about anyone looking at me.
I think I finally fell in love with NY. . I miss it already !
I've always loved California; I'll probably always live here on the West Coast, at least long-term. But I do love coming to New York. The energy is totally different, and I always have a lot of fun there. I always end up staying up all night! I look at my friends, like, "How do you guys do this every day?"
I was really inspired by intense nature and landscapes, and I'm always inspired by open spaces and giving room for things to grow sound-wise and visually. I have a bit of claustrophobia myself which I think translates into my music.
As you go about your life, don't give 100 percent of your attention to the external world and your mind. Keep some within.
It's your life-but only if you make it so.
There's a lot of sympathy, but some people in America don't care. They think Syria is a very faraway place and that it's none of their business.
I was hitting him with what I thought was my full strength, I hit him in the head about four times and every time I hit him, I was like, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry'. And he's like, 'It's fine, it didn't even hurt'. Yeah, that was kind of an ego deflater!
