All these biopics and biographies and people gossiping about so-and-so's drug abuse or who's sleeping with who, it's just a bunch of nonsense.

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.

Once biographical information contaminates your consciousness, it's impossible to erase it and look at someone's work the same way again.

I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words.

I love songs because by nature they are concise; they sum up. I try to use as few words as possible. It's usually funnier that way, anyway.

Try to keep your mind. Try not to eat bad, try not to wake up with too bad of a hangover.

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