"Rather than just some stranger telling them to cheer up, I think it’s better to say something like, “You seem depressed lately,” or, “Seems like these days it’s tough for you to perk up.” “Blue & Grey” is the same: “You’re depressed lately? Me too. We’re in the same boat. Wanna talk about how you’re feeling? You wanna feel better, right? I know, but sometimes it feels like you’re being washed away by a whirlpool of stress.” I want the listeners to hear me saying that to them."

"When you feel burned out, I'd recommend you to focus on yourself more than any task. "I" am the most precious being. Try to focus more on yourself and you'll find a way to get through the difficulty."

"Dreams keep changing, don’t they? Who I was six months ago is so different from who I am now, and I’ll be different again in six months’ time. Wouldn’t our thoughts change as well? That’s why I don’t like the phrase “original resolve”. It feels like a phrase used by adults to keep people in line. We need to accept that people change. I trust we can adapt to change and carry on."

"Hmm, I'm not sure if I can say this, but as we approach the new year, I'd like to tell all the young people that they've done a good job and that they're still doing a good job. That if they're carrying some burden about new beginnings, it's okay for them to put down that burden for a bit, and that I hope they can learn to enjoy themselves as they start out on this new path. I would like to cheer them or in this way."

"If you dance at a lot of weddings, you'll cry at a lot of funerals. This means if you're present at many beginnings, you'll also be there for many endings. If you have many friends, you'll experience your share of losses. If you feel that you're suffering great loss, it's only because you have been so richly blessed by life."
