“It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luc...” — Charles Baudelaire Quote

It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree.

Everything considered, work is less boring than amusing oneself.

A frenzied passion for art is a canker that devours everything else.

The study of beauty is a duel in which the artist cries with terror before being defeated.

All dark, all bloody, my heart,

I speak onstage to try to establish some method of communication. The songs are supposed to be a way of communicating. But speech and drinks and sometimes chocolates are also a way of communicating.

I'm glad you asked that question, because of any musical situation I've been in, the communication feels great here with Russell. He really pays close attention to what I'm doing because he cares.

I'm interested in the theater because I'm interested in communication with audiences. Otherwise I would be in concert music.

I think everyone has shame about something, whether it's a lack of a relationship with a child or maybe their weight or a lack of communication within their marriage. Everyone can relate to that because we all have something that we're like, 'God, I can work on that,' or, 'I wish I was better at doing this.'
