Color in certain places has the great value of making the outlines and structural planes seem more energetic.

Architecture should speak of its time and place but yearn for timelessness.

Bosnia is under my skin. It's the place you cannot leave behind. I was obsessed by the nightmare of it all there was this sense of guilt and an anger that has become something much deeper over these last years.

I think I would cope like anyone copes with any tragedy. I'm sure I would be very upset for a while and then there would come a point where I would either have to stay in this place of darkness and anger or I'd have to accept that it happened.

I guess because I had such a horrible life growing up going from place to place not knowing what I was gonna do and ending up being homeless there was a lot of pain and a lot of anger that was coming out through my guitar playing.

People have said I'm the candidate of anger. Well we have a right to be angry. We lost 3 million jobs. We lost our place as the moral leader of the world.

Good satire comes from anger. It comes from a sense of injustice that there are wrongs in the world that need to be fixed. And what better place to get that well of venom and outrage boiling than a newsroom because you're on the front lines.

We are losing sight of civility in government and politics. Debate and dialogue is taking a back seat to the politics of destruction and anger and control. Dogma has replaced thoughtful discussion between people of differing views.

I've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically uh-uh. No.

Having my first number one single and being able to travel to places I've never been before has been amazing. The tour was also fantastic. There are so many things which I've experienced this year which I never even dreamed of.

'True Blood' is amazing. I have to give a shout out to 'Melrose Place' because I do watch. I love 'Entourage.' One of my favorite shows back in the day was 'Friday Night Lights.'

I'm crazy about my father he's an amazing man a real adventurer. He took us with him to travel all over the world. We were in places that were so remote that white people hardly ever reach them.

New York is the coolest city. The place just never sleeps. It's amazing.

I'm definitely doing better. I never realized that I would get the support that I've gotten from everybody - from my fans to people that I've idolized my whole life. So it's overwhelming it's amazing and I believe that everything happens for a reason so I'm in a really good place right now.

I always knew that St. Jude was an amazing organization but meeting the kids and seeing how the hospital works first hand was truly beautiful. It doesn't feel like a regular hospital all dreary and sad. It's a colorful beautiful comfortable fun place to live and the energy is wonderful.

I remember going for the first time to a place called The Roxy in New York because you can see people breakdancing there. That's the only reason I went! It's amazing kids are still doing that.

I'm lucky that most of the time I'm on location in amazing places. Most of the time I don't need holidays I just stop working.

When I tour it's like well like a food tour as much as a comedy tour. I try to eat at all the weird places the obscure barbecue joints burger places. There are a few spots in L.A. that I'm obsessed with - one of them is the Taco Zone taco truck on Alvarado. There are secret off-menu items that are amazing.

I was so happy that it filmed in New York not only because it's an amazing city but also because a lot of people across the world somehow started to think about New York as a dangerous place to be and envisioned it as some war zone after that happened.

I grew up with all boys in my family where there was no place for girlie stuff. But it's amazing to walk into my house now. Everything is pink!

It's amazing to see places like Madison Square Garden on the schedule again.

I liked the way they treated the first second and third place finishers equally. It was an amazing year. I only entered two song contests this year I won one and placed second in the other. And I entered each of them a day or two before the deadline.

The lips on my upper right bicep are my girlfriend's lips. She has the most amazing lips and I wanted to carry them around with me everywhere I go considering I can't carry her lips physically with me. So I decided to place them in a discreet location such as the inside part of my bicep.

It's amazing that you can listen to any song and you can always tell when there's some substance beneath it and when there isn't. Even if it's poetically written and technically brilliant I'd rather hear something that's all over the place but has some soul to it.
