Why would I want to sound like Joni Mitchell? I've got Joni Mitchell records, and they're great, and I couldn't possibly be that good.

I think people use temp music quite a bit, but the people who write the temp music don't ever really learn that their music was inspiring a movie.

I think a lot of good directors listen to music while they're working. The songs just don't become a part of the film. They're replaced.

Because I write very simply, but inside the simplicity, there's a lot of subtlety. That's what I'm proud of.

I could probably live in Bali the rest of my life and completely live in the sticks and have a f - king moped and make a record every couple of years and not step in public and break even like I do anyway. That's really tempting.

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you.

My parents told me I must get married. I was seen as a failure if I didn't do it.
