It's more important for me to have a good record with good music and be part of a movie that's good and where the music is used in a really great way. That's the important thing. The other stuff you want to say about it, I don't care.

I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.

What's interesting to me is drama and conflict. Things aren't interesting without conflict and resolution of conflict - or striving towards a resolutions of conflict.

I don't envy anybody trying to start a career right. There really is no music business left, in a lot of ways.

I don't believe in asking people to spend $15 on something they've never heard before. That's just unreasonable.

All that I need now is someone with the brains and the know-how to tell me what I want.

It's not easy in this phosphorescent gloom telling waking dreams apart anyhow.
