It's like being in the position of - in half of the industry's mind, you're kind of a cult-following, independent rocker. And on the other hand, you're a sellout. But neither one of them are right.

Everybody knows it hurts to grow up...and we're still fighting it.

Billy Joel and Joe Jackson were both great, and they both play piano.

I start songs all the time. If I weren't so lazy, I would finish them. It's like when I have a deadline I have to. I always feel very lucky that I am forced to make records at certain times. If I was forced to make 2 records a year, I would write twice as many songs. I can't make myself finish something unless I am forced

Now that I have found someone, I'm feeling more alone... than I ever have before.

If you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall

I do have that mindset - that most good art comes from some turmoil, from someone trying to come to some equilibrium, or come up and get a breath.
