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.

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

The goal is to be free and hopeful in the music. Because that's really the only intention you need. From there, every natural and powerful intention and feeling will, on its own, slide right out of you - out of your spirit.

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.

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.

I get very heated about anything that is socially unkind.

When you're in pain, you're genuinely very, very alive, and that's beautiful. Especially emotional pain.
