Opinions only carry weight in the second or third person.

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 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.

I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people; we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart; there's been people who have left my life, and I don't have a problem with that. This is a transitory world; we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it and holding on.

I just like writing lyrics. I find a little satisfaction in performing live, making records. But primarily, I just try to write every day.

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