Recording music is not really the healthiest thing for the body.

Unless you are in the willingness and ease and ecstasy of some kind of moment, you may end up the editor of your thoughts and of your expressions. I find I'm that way on stage.

Sometimes I'm really communicating with the audience and I'm hyper-engaged. Other times my eyes are closed and I just let it be what it is.

It's so rare that I'll read or even watch an interview. I don't want to, either. I don't want to see other people's comments.

I think the most important thing to remember is that pain passes. And artistically, the pain is going to pass. It's what you want to express out of the pain as opposed to indulging in the agony-and-pain mantra of songwriting that became such a hit in the '90s and still, all the way up to now.

I get very heated about anything that is socially unkind.

What gets me pretty pissed off is the whole Monsanto engineered foods issue.
