Tweetable Quotes: 
“For me to be on the radio being funny, having a lot of accomplishments, but also being a loser, emotional, depressed… I’ve done all these terrible things, but I’m still here, and I’m kicking it.” - Jason Ellis
“The expression of who you are at your core is what I think allows you to lead a life that you live… Expressing those things makes you live in congruence with who you believe yourself to be.” - Travis Chappell
