"I feel like people who actually know how music works on a technical level need to explain it to the rest of us a little more often."

-- Owen Pallett

“When you're in a leadership role, you can never please all of the people all of the time. There's also a lot of responsibility that goes along with it that others may not realize.”
“You really can change the world if you care enough.”
“I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.”
“I'm in love with music, and I'm pregnant by it. It's like having twins. Or triplets. Or eight-lets!”
“To control the mind with force is like putting a viper in a basket.”
“With every episode of struggle, there is a learning opportunity.”
“One of the things I love about acting is that I can enter into these other people's lives. But going back to being me at the end of the day is very important, too. That process of remembering who I am.”
“You are not your idea, and if you identify too closely with your ideas, you will take offense when they are challenged.”
