You aren't really writing about what you did; you're writing about how you feel.

Closeness to another person is like a fear of falling off a building to me. It's really, like, physically painful, and it's a brand of crazy I don't appreciate having.

You live through stuff, and it affects the way you feel about the world, and you write about it.

Got no place to go, but there's a girl waitin' for me down in Mexico. She got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin, and if I bring a little music, I could fit right in.

I think that, often, the people who can make you happy are right there, and having them in your life would make your life better, but you can't see how to do it.

But what you realise after you've been in the business for a while is that people develop opinions about you that don't have anything to do with your music, they like or dislike you for a million reasons, they like or dislike you for your last record.

When so much money is involved in these movies, someone somewhere is going to try to screw you.
