Zach Galifianakis
People know my lyrics; they know the stuff I've written, and it's all about life, love, happiness, and these big euphoric moments.

The answer is, who you are cannot be defined through thinking or mental labels or definitions, because it's beyond that.

Turn to the light; don’t fear the shadows it creates.
