I do like the word timeless. That's a great word.

The writing of the record didn't take long, because I just have a huge stack of papers and I just pluck from the stack. It took a long time because it's very expensive to make records; in fact, I think it's a complete rip-off.

People take things a little too personal. I write these songs, and they're experiments with thoughts. That's it. I'm not a teacher.

It's the stupidest thing of all time, going on tour. It deteriorates the soul, but it's fun.

It doesn't mean that I'm overly enthusiastic about much music. Except the people that really touch me. It has to touch me, it has to grab a hold of me, I'm not looking for anything in particular.

I couldn't write a political song. There's just opinion; it's all arbitrary anyway. It's all subjective.

I think I try to do a lot of things to weed out casual fans.
