I write the vocals last because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it.

Lean your body forward slightly to support the guitar against your chest for the poetry of the music should resound in your heart.

My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.

I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.

You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.

I would bend over backward to be back on Grey's. Any day I'll choose lying in bed with Katherine Heigl looking over me over getting thrown against walls by supernatural persons at 5 in the morning.
