I wasn't an only child, but I was the youngest, and no one else in my family played music.

In a lot of senses, things are definitely changing in my life, and with what's going on around me. But I still feel like the writing process is as intimate as it as before, if not more. Because I need my time more than I had before.

Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?

I'm sure that the meaning of the songs that I've written will change for me over the years, the same way that I can't even say what inspired some of the songs that I've been singing for a long time anymore.

If, you know, all your life you're making films or whatever, and somehow along the way you lose meaning in whatever you're doing when you're making the films, they're just not the same as they used to be to you. That doesn't mean your life is over; it just means maybe go try to live a different life.

It's very important to enjoy time alone with yourself and just existing, because existence is kind of cool.

I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
