It's important for people to talk and get beyond the wall of Facebook and social media.

In a weird kind of way, music has afforded me an idealism and perfectionism that I could never attain as me.

I created a paradigm by which I could succeed, and up until recently it was the only way I could do it. I could not take the brunt of standing in the light of my own work. There was a Faustian bargain I could not make. I could have you mock me for wearing funny clothes that I could deal with. But I couldn't deal with actually standing in the light of my own musical power. That's the difference now. It's like, okay, no more of that, you're done.

If I had spent fourteen months in a small room with Jesus, I'd want to fist fight with him.

Saturn Return is just the return of your planets to their original position.

I think when I listen to old records, it puts me back in the atmosphere of what it felt like to make the record and who was there and what the room looked like. It's more a sensory memory.

I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking.
