I sort of enjoy the fact that I'm misunderstood most of the time. That's fine.

Every night I play as if my life depends on it.

Just because you sing songs about a certain feeling doesn't mean you have to go feeling that way forever. You can sing about that for the rest of your life, but that doesn't mean things aren't going to change in your own life.

I hate television. I hate the internet. I hate cell phones. I hate cameras. I hate everything that destroys creativity.

I don't want to live in an ivory tower, being the songwriter who just turns inward.

There's an honesty in our family - my kids and I are able to talk about things without me putting the fear of God into them.

I thought everybody was in on the joke. But I was the joke.
