Music is wonderful. Especially if there's some kind of content to it.

I get myself a gig somewhere, whether it's in a club, whether it's in a bar, it doesn't matter, and I just work on New Year's Eve because I always feel it's very symbolic for me for the next year, for the new year.

You always fall for the rascal or the guy who's got a little bit of the devil in him. You can't help it.

I mean I think that Blondie's influence is a little bit in a way more eclectic than those bands.

I don't really memorize every little thing I have to do because then I start to think about it too much! I like to keep it in the here and now and not what's coming up.

Lately I've been believing that music predates speech.

I really, really like writing songs. Capote wrote every day. He said that's the only way, you have to sit down every day and do it...Something that's written out is okay, but it's not always a clear indication of what a person means.
