I'm a bit of a vagabond - a person who loses time and space because you don't know where you are.

I do love the ceremony of putting on a record but I don't have space for a vinyl collection.

For a brief moment, I considered deconstructing the song and going down a cerebral road, but then I realized it would kill what is most powerful about it.

There's always something extremely personal in the songs, but I may change the point of view from what I actually experienced.

Checking voicemail is like, "When's the other shoe going to drop?" I'm always afraid it's going to be terrible news I don't want to hear.

I wanted to give the songs a run for their money, to see if they stood on their own without a lot of accoutrements. It made more sense - and it was easier, too - to go out alone and see if these songs could get in a couple of fistfights and still be standing.

I think anything that you can't poke fun at is a little too precious.
