I think I like singing when I'm singing live. It's just in the studio when it's a drag.

A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.

I love being lost! I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone. 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.

People take things a little too personal. I write these songs, and they're experiments with thoughts. That's it. I'm not a teacher.

I think it's worthwhile to expand your comfort level and just do something awful. I wasn't trying to make music for money.

Thank god we don't know a lot about William Shakespeare or Moses or Homer or Lautréamont. These are the best guys we got, and their art is powerful because they're mysterious. Once biographical information contaminates your consciousness, it's impossible to erase it and look at someone's work the same way again.

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.
