I've always wanted to write a song that goes, "I love you" and a book that goes, "Something happened." Something very direct.

Of course, before the internet people found records, too. You can still do it. It's just that people like to make the least amount of effort as possible.

People want to be successful, and they want to be acknowledged for what they do. Sometimes they make really great art and aren't. Historically, the best artists weren't. But their work survived.

There is something to mystery. You make up this entire world that you fit into because of what the actual music does to you.

When real work happens and that's when real art happens.

There are so many bad songs that have incredible videos. It's pretty amazing, actually. The power of putting images to music is hypnotizing. It's a real power. That's a realm that I've failed at completely.

Now if I lived in my land, which I do, if I lived in Iceland, if I lived in Greensland I'd still have Chinese children, but out of my ears my little grey baby hears.
