I ask for so little.Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave

It's only forever... Not long at all.

I haven't changed my views much since I was about 12, really, I've just got a 12-year-old mentality.When I was in school I had a brother who was into Kerouac and he gave me On The Road to read when I was 12 years old. That's still been a big influence.

I wish myself to be a prop, if anything, for my songs. I want to be the vehicle for my songs. I would like to colour the material with as much visual expression as is necessary for that song.

I don't make changes to confuse anyone. I'm just searching. That's what causes me to change. I'm just searching for myself.

I think a lot of that album ["Tonight" ] is still very good . . . the songs, but I think I was indifferent to the arrangements.

I really wanted to do, more than anything else, up until I was around 16, 17, was write musicals.
