I think everybody, no matter what they eat, they should eat at least fifty percent raw food. But I eat some seafood.

Paul Simon is my absolute hero. He's one of a kind. He wrote his own ticket in life by being himself.

I can write songs, but I'm not gonna really feel good about the song unless it feels like me, and I'm not gonna release a song or put it on an album or play it in concert unless it really feels like me.

I like fish and a lot of seaweed, but I don't eat bread or dairy or anything like that. It's kind of like in the macrobiotic world. I'm just a healthy eater who loves to juice.

I have ideas for songs all the time, but musical ideas, like melodies, really come out when I'm in nature.

Things aren't always as they appear. I've been believing things to be a certain way because I want them to be that way. I build up illusions in my head.

I guess it's just my job to somehow balance knowing that every song is going to come differently and be different, but also know that, on the other hand, I am a songwriter and I am a craftsman, and I do have a craft and a technique and a method. So I need to balance the technique and the method.
