I've always been obsessed by visual art as I have been by music personally, but that doesn't mean anything professionally.

What in the world would I sing for if I had it all?

I'm a fairly tormented artist, and I'm less willing to indulge myself in self-pity, outside of songwriting.

Remember that there are hundreds of thousands of things you can eat that are not cheese.

Sometimes it's nice to be able to reflect on the music itself and then write lyrics that I feel anyone can relate to. It's not my dreaming tree that is dead. The feeling of a loss of hope is universal. There are moments that we've all felt a little bit of it, so I don't think it is something that is too hard to identify with.

We have to be active about kindness and about peace. I've always fantasized that it would be great if there was a Department of Peace.

Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes, but I'll work it out.
