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

I want to make something that's useful to someone, somewhere.

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.

I don't care much about politics. That kind of witchcraft I stay away from because people end up dead. I'd rather die for music.

People expect not just songwriters but all personalities to pontificate about their egos.

It's not my way to talk about my feelings. They're impudent to myself, so it wouldn't make any sense if I tried to explain them to anyone else. I've never been to therapy - not interested in it.
