I don't think music is my job - I don't think about it that way, because I don't really get paid. There's not paycheck at the end; it's more of a "whatever is left over" kind of situation. Also, it keeps me from thinking about my creativity as a business, which it is not. It should remain pure; that's one of the reasons I made music in the first place.

I hate my voice. I've never been comfortable singing.

I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.

That's what I mean by "Western morality," is the lack of morality. There is none. People are out for themselves, and they'll stab you in the back.

I don't think anyone knows anything and I don't trust people who say that they do. Don't give me a plan, give me action.

I think it's worthwhile to expand your comfort level and just do something awful. I wasn't trying to make music for money.

I have been singing as long as I can remember. I used to be in choir; I used to do musical theater. I'd prefer not to sing my own songs, but there you have it.
