If you're going to write a song, try to get together with a collaborator because it's better to write with collaborators.

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.

Every now and then I hear voices in my head, but not very clear. I can't understand what they are saying. It's a mental illness. I have been diagnosed as a manic depressive.

You don't really know what to believe until the Government denies it.

I think cursing is a bunch of malarkey.

I'm just a shy and retreating kind of person. Sometimes I get in a real talkative mood - but not very often.

I still believe that something is right only when it feels right.
