If you're wandering the streets, talking in gibberish, nobody ever asks you to change anything about your art because there's no context for people to look at what you do.

In the end, I think musicians know that getting up in the morning and making music you love doesn't necessarily mean that you deserve billions of dollars or worship from anybody.

I've had nightmares about having to kick people out of my band because they've said that they don't like the Beatles. I'd wake up and turn to them and say, "You like the Beatles, right?"

I have no shame in making music that maybe, if you listen to it long enough, you'll realize you've heard this or that part of it before.

I was thinking that people have to believe you're crazy in order to take you seriously as an artist.

A big part of making an album is that you want to have enough material - you want to have enough stuff for people to hear and know that it represents you.
