I've always said I write albums; I don't write random songs and then sort them out.

I feel very strongly about the subject matter in The Dallas Buyer's Club - about AIDS and people fighting illnesses, and fighting for survival against bad conditions.

I have really low self-esteem, and it's not easy for me to put myself on an album cover.

I want to build an audience that's willing to follow us in whichever direction we might choose.

Usually I'm not really conscious of what's going on. I don't have a lot of memories onstage. At all.

When I started having a couple of beers and loosening up, I realized how many years I had wasted going back to my hotel room alone when I could have gone and just had a beer or two.

Sometimes, I do have something to say, so I'll sit there and I'll write a song to someone - and then I just throw it away because it makes me cringe.
