I wanted to try to write songs on the piano to get a different flavor.

I don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.

I probably would've kept slogging on that same chord change, because there's a tendency to have that happen. You get into the cadence in your mind, and it's hard to make the kind of left turn that you probably need to keep it really interesting.

Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting.

Nightly you retrace your steps again to return to the scene of the crime. It's uncanny how you hover in the air of the wreckage that you left behind.

I think, to be happy is to be interested and engaged.

I suppose I should be happy to be misread; better be that than some of the other things I have become.
