I was a little rebellious growing up. ”

When a Mormon knocks, they say, 'Can I teach you about Jesus Christ?' And if you say no, they'll say, 'Then how can I be of service to you?' So anybody who was smart would be like, 'You can take out my trash and mow my lawn.' ”

Music speaks to people in a way that breaks down boundaries that words and actions sometimes can't. ”

There's not a day that goes by that I don't get an email from someone who is angry with me and tells me they're not going to let their kid listen to Imagine Dragons anymore. ”

I wouldn't recommend being a musician to anyone. It's not glamorous. It's a lot of being dirty, not eating, playing for five people and one of them is the bartender. ”

There's nothing wrong or weak about seeking a therapist. I have a therapist. ”

I really don't want my daughters to know me for being that guy who sings songs. ”

I'm about as privileged as you can get. I'm a white, male, heterosexual front man of a rock band. ”

People who have never dealt with depression think it's just being sad or being in a bad mood. That's not what depression is for me; it's falling into a state of grayness and numbness. ”

It does not mean you're broken to have depression and anxiety. I would encourage you to speak out. Don't hold it inside. Talk to friends. Talk to parents. If it's available, go to a therapist. ”
