I get off on hearing other people's voices. I like voices: they're my favourite things on records.

Any article's good. Long as it's publicity, I think that's all that matters. I think it's advancement for my career.

I wake up in the morning and I say 'Ahh! Today's the day for a song! I'm going to write a song today!' And I do. I write a song.

I think about God, yes, and I wonder if there is a God. And if there is a God, will God please help me through my hard trips.

I always do get a little bit paranoid when I get a lot of attention. But I get used to it.

I meditate and I also think about meditation. Which is funny. I think about Maharishi, about just the idea of meditating. It gives me something.

The idea of taking a song, envisioning the overall sound in my head and then bringing the arrangement to life in the studio...well, that gives me satisfaction like nothing else.
