I've done enough films to know how to save up my energy for the take and then give it on the take and do that.

Unless there are pictures, I don't admit to anything.

The past is part of the present, is part of the future, it's all part of being an artist. You cannot be something that you're not when you're not that thing anymore, and if you do that then you're a liar.

I'm not psychic, but my lyrics are.

I surrounded myself with women when I was growing up because I had this horrible psycho father. Now I'm trying to really appreciate and like men more.

Songs need to have a secret, cryptic, thematic thing about them, otherwise they are just messy and all over the place.

My mentors are people like Cameron Crowe and Carrie Fisher.
