I've always liked Saturn. But I also have some sympathy for Pluto because I heard it's been downgraded from a planet, and I think it should remain a planet. Once you've given something planetary status it's kind of mean to take it away.

Don’t you just want to make something that lives forever? Something that’s phenomenal, something that’s great, something that’s undeniable? That touches the core of every person that hears it?

I think what a big part of 30 Seconds to Mars is, it’s not only music, it’s not only art, it’s a community. It’s a sense of having a place to belong. And not everybody will understand it, and that’s ok, it’s just for the people that do.

Don’t regret anything you do, because in the end it makes you who you are.

I like Fashion but Fashion doesn’t really like me, obviously.

I win and succeed only ’cause I fail so much. I fail all the time. I wrote 70 songs just to have 12 good ones. For the video I shot 60 hours of footage. 60 hours! To come up with an 8 minute video. So really I only win ’cause I fail.

Music should never be a job. It should be your hopes, your dreams and everything you believe in.

Professionally, I don’t necessarily have to adhere to a certain dress code. However, I think that comfort is crucial. Otherwise, you won’t be able to have fun and express yourself.

You know it’s a perverted crowd when a guy is screaming at you to take your shirt off.

Music is subjective to everyone’s unique experience.
