I think I prefer singing in falsetto. I like the way it sounds. It doesn't sound like my natural voice. It sounds like a character.

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.

It's not like that when you're a songwriter - songwriters aren't like pulp writers or journalists, even. You just follow the muse. It's called muse-ic. Whenever the muse decides to bestow her inspiration on the songwriter, then the song is born.

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.

When I was young, I used to go to Baha'i camp, and they taught me a lot about the equality of religions.

I've always been interested in an idea of boundless love - an impersonal, big love.

As it turns out, it's really expensive to make movies, much more than records.
