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

I wouldn't claim to know what another person is thinking. I can imagine it, but it's my interpretation, and I try to make that clear. It's my vision of what I think their life is. I don't think there are empirical truths in that regard.

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

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.

Elvis Presley wore a Star of David and a cross around his neck and, when someone asked him about it, he said, "It makes me think." I love that quote. It's simple. It's beautiful. It's true.

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

If it's possible to have an enemy without making it personal or moral, then that's what I'm trying to do.
