There was a time when I was way too reliant upon other people's opinions and perspective of me. And I guess over time came to see how unhealthy that was. I mean it's almost like a sign of mental illness to base your self-worth on the opinions of complete strangers.
I guess...on one hand, I spent way too much time watching science fiction and reading science fiction when I was growing up. But a part of it is I also never felt much of a connection to the world in which I lived while I was growing up, and so, oddly enough, I think I felt a lot more connected to the worlds that I read about in science fiction.
I love it when celebrities fall apart, you want them to fall apart like Charlie Sheen.
I'm a terrible cook, so I usually eat out with friends.
I like tea and yoga, but I don't do yoga.
I'd strike the sun if it insulted me.
When I was growing up, I was the most pretentious person I have ever met. I only read obscure books and watched obscure movies and only listened to obscure music.
There's nothing in the actual Bible that limits a Christian in their appreciation of or interest in science. Anti-science is purely a function of ignorant fundamentalism.
I realized the universe is 15 billion years old and unspeakably complicated. I still love the teachings of Christ, but I also believe that the human condition prevents us from having any true objective knowledge and understanding of the universe.
I find myself for whatever reason unable to live in the apartment I renovate and have to sell.
It's much easier to have a diversified career as an electronic musician than it is as a drummer. Nothing against drummers. If you're a drummer, you just wait around for people to ask you to play drums. But if you have your own studio and can make music, you have the ability to approach music a lot differently.
A part of me wants to sort of try and sound cool and feed this myth that I'm some sort of glamorous lothario, but I was raised by women - my mother and her mother and my aunts - and as a result, most of my friends have always been women.
I'd just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead.
The progressive movement needs more crazy and amoral/immoral right-wing politicians and pundits like Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich and Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity.
We need to finally accept that all sentient creatures are deserving of basic rights. I define basic rights as this -the ability to pursue life without having someone else's will involuntarily forced upon you.
I'm not sure how healthy it is to shoot police helicopters with bazookas.
I like my coffee like I like my romantic partners: cold and bitter and prone to giving me anxiety attacks.
I've done the performing monkey stuff and massive breakdowns, it's just they weren't documented.
I'm definitely a fan of public humiliation.
I need an audience way more than an audience needs me.
I've been having a midlife crisis since I was four years old.
For me, love is very non-academic. Love, it’s a very physical thing. I don’t mean physical in terms of - I mean, it can be sexual. But those moments when I’m aware of the fact that I love someone or love something, it really manifests physically.
My secret is being not terrible at a lot of things.
Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don't really know how the music business works.
If you and I become vegans, the global consequences aren't going to be that much. But if we can get a few hundred million people to become a little more aware and cut back on their animal consumption, the consequences will be great.
