I'm probably more into a more spacious, even meditative, quiet delivery of singing.

When I'm on stage I don't say anything. The last thing I want to do is share my thoughts. I don't know if that's mysterious - maybe it's just old fashioned.

When I go to a show, all I really want is to hear a performance that sounds legitimate, and not just going through the motions. I'm not sure any amount of jumping up and down really persuades me in either direction.

I always start with the lyrics, because starting with the music means the words will be bad.

No one appreciates a professional anymore. Everyone's a mystic. Which is why I take drunk Jim over acid Jim - the argument all roads eventually lead to.

I'm not that conscious of my writing, so pacing the lyrics doesn't really enter the picture.

Really good musicians don't think of "self-reflection."
