A song like "Walkabout", it's totally imitative. The goal of that song was to make people happy, and I've never really made a song to make people happy before. I really genuinely wanted people to listen to that song and have their spirits lifted.

I'm more into Neil Young and radical honesty.

I don't have anything to prove.

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

I was only in the public eye because I was annoying. You know how neurotic people may ask for one thing when they may really want another thing? It was like I was asking for attention, but I didn't really want attention.

I think people are intimidated by me, and I don't know why. Sometimes even my own bandmates can be intimidated, or irritated, by me.

All music is devotional, whether it's devotion to products, face washes, creams, plastic. Everybody is devoted to something.
