Lyrics are my racket; music is play - the fluff stuff.

When I'm trying to write a song for someone else, you can only see anything through your own eyes.

This is a transitory world, we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it, and holding on. Even if it's a moment it's true love, true love doesn't mean that it goes on for eternity. Eternity is a terrible concept.

Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.

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 just wanna see someone talking about themselves constantly. I'm not interested in that.

I think I like singing when I'm singing live. It's just in the studio when it's a drag.
