There's more to life than listening to rock music.

Wise is the tongue, wet of perfect thought.

I think everybody has a painter inside of them somewhere.

As soon as I got into music, I tried to be a working, real artist who gets paid for what he does, who doesn't have a day job.

People go back to the stuff that doesn't cost a lot of money and the stuff that you don't have to hand money to over and over again. Stuff that you get for free, stuff that your older brother gives you, stuff that you can get out of the local library.

I drive a lot. Just for pleasure. Sometimes I'll get in the Cadillac and drive around the city or the country, kind of trying to get lost basically. Y'know, just see where roads lead.

I come from an art history background. I studied at a master's degree level; I chose to dork out on art for much of my adult life. A lot of my heroes are artists and a lot of my musical heroes have an artistic side.
