I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye, whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.

I think there is no better way to invite a human being to view their body differently than by inviting them to be an athlete, by revering one's body as an instrument rather than just an ornament.

But I love to entertain. My vocation is to accrue all these experiences, to write about them, to get them out of my system, to not get sick, and then to share them publicly.

Whether you’re checked in or checked out, you’re always on a spiritual journey.

I get angry at myself for staying in relationships way too long.

When I start writing songs and it turns into an overly belabored intellectual process, I just throw it out.

I'll write records until I'm dead. And then maybe even after that!
