  • Architecture theory is very interesting.

  • It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas.

  • Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.

  • It's a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, 'Well, yeah,' but you start to think, 'Why not, though?' What makes one more valuable than another?

  • Real beauty knocks you a little bit off kilter.
