If your writing is good, if it resonates, if it connects the dots for anybody out there, the lovers will come, the haters will come, support will come — sometimes in the form of money, sometimes in the form of something less expected — and it balances.

I feel that part of my life's artwork is creatively dealing with all this negativity and anger and rage and hatred coming from whatever corners it's coming from and somehow manifesting all of that anger into something positive, which is such a hard job.

I have a handful of really close relationships in my life and I depend on those people heavily to carry me through and to help me stay steady.

I don't feel at home in New Orleans. I don't feel at home in Austin or L.A. And I just felt immediately at home in northern Australia.

I make the music that I want to make and make the show that I want to make. If you like it, you come. If you don't like it, you don't have to.

The challenge is to just focus on what's actually happening, focus on the people who get it, and focus on the people who are listening.

Nothing is crueller than children who come from good homes.
