I get very heated about anything that is socially unkind.

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.

Physical pain is problematic because it's very difficult to transcend that. Sometimes you're just in physical pain, and that's a bummer. Even then, there are beautiful things involved in the healing of that. I've experienced some.

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

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.

Even the most deft pen is a clumsy tool.

I don't want an angry song with no silver lining ending up on my album. Then I'd have to play, or feel obliged to play, that song every night in repetition as a mantra of anger.
