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.

The music business is a weird business. Sometimes licensing doesn't happen because some business component that you never knew about stops it.

The way I see it, there's only one melody for any song.

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

In many ways, I've chosen to be plain, almost too plain, too self-effacing. Like, if I record a vocal and I don't like the way it sounds, I would have them turn it up and take the reverb off it to make it as plain as possible.

I feel like a quote out of context, withholding the rest so I can be for you what you want to see.

Being capable of anything is a bullshit concept, unless it means you also admit that you're capable of cheating, lying and killing.
