People don't buy records anymore. I don't know how people can support themselves.

The knock-out punch is always the one you never see coming.

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

Life is a series of problems to figure out how to solve gracefully and with dignity. That is what life is and I can't see it any other way.

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.

There's a lot of music that sounds like it's literally computer-generated, totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument.
