Obviously the trouble with having a hit with something like a cover of a ballad, you attract a whole new set of listeners, which is great, but on the other hand they start to pigeonhole you a little bit.
When you start working on a series, it's almost too much work. It's like a movie a week.
I'd love to start some movements. What I'm tired of is irony, and sarcasm, and musicmovieswhat have you, not having the guts to mean anything.
I don't agonize over decisions as much these days. The criteria of what's important to me is clear. The insecurity that you feel, and the paranoia that you feel, have been around for a long time - you know it's a liar because it's been lying to you all along - every time you start something new.
People are only mean when they're threatened… and that's what our culture does. That's what our economy does. Even people who have jobs in our economy are threatened, because they worry about losing them. And when you get threatened, you start looking out only for yourself. You start making money a god. It is all part of this culture.
If you think love makes you happy, you've either never been in love, or never been in love long enough to have to start compromising.
Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and when people start getting it confused, that means they need to sit down with some real people.
Start where you are-do anything you can do, and do everything you can do, until you find something you must do! That something is probably your spiritual gift.

At the start we were all like, "Tour tour tour. We just want to play. That's all we want to do. "
Once you start messing with psychological well-being, we get more and more messed up.
Start before you’re ready.

And at the start of every new day, I still believed I could choose my own beginning, one that was scrubbed clean of everything past
You'd better stop readin' and writin' and start hittin' !
If you spend a lot of time thinking about your problems, they'll grow bigger and stronger. Is that what you want? Of course not!Instead, focus on your goals. Start your day with them at the front of your mind, and use notes to recall them strategically throughout your day.
I think when you start to get afraid, it's time to leave.
Once you lose attachment to how you want things to be because you realize you don't control anything, there's a curiously liberating aspect of that. I've always been a control freak, I've always felt that if I try hard enough, everyone I love will be kept safe and everything will be okay. Being shown, in such brutal terms, that that's simply not the way it works, in someways, it messed me up. I've been through hell, but on another level, if you pile up so much tragedy, it either destroys you, or you just start laughing about it. Because at the end of the day, no one gets out alive.
Things always seem to end before they start
Put your troubles aside and start living.
