"Political society wants things simple. Political scientists know them to be complex...

-- Daniel Patrick Moynihan

“I've spent a lot of my early twenties focusing on other people as opposed to myself. Being madly in love with people and putting them first and not necessarily putting myself under a microscope. It's unsettling but I'm trying to be the kind of person that can be alone, at peace with himself.

Lyrically, there was a lot less hiding behind suns and moons and stars.”
