Everyone wants to be well-loved and appreciated but, at the same time, there are some people that just don't want to be your friend, and there's nothing you can do or say to change that.

Even if I'm writing music, it's with a lyric in mind, to communicate some kind of feeling.

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

Music is the marriage of the feelings of the living to the wisdom of the dead.

I don't really write for an album. I just write songs whenever I feel like it, whenever they come to me. It's all a complete accident.

Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best. To make it about the artist and to dwell upon biographical information can only make it singular, and I am really, really disgusted by that.

I write for myself, and I write for my friends and people who I have a connection with. I try to give some dignity to peoples' lifestyles that tend to be ignored.
