A lot of artists make art for five years, some artists make art for ten years, a few make art for fifteen: very few do it until they die.

At best doing art you feel like you're led by something that doesn't involve you.

I'm not musically trained and I'm not all these other things. I'm creative with a keyboard and a drum machine, but I can't really make these perfect minimal musical executions - all the things that would be nice with all these refined poems.

Recording is a lengthy process, but onstage it's completely different; tape is not running - life is running, and cannot be rewound.

I wonder a lot about making things meaningful. You want to do meaningful work and make art, but you're making records, which is good, but you don't want to weight them - it's a very curious thing.

I'm at best on stage. It's one of the only places where I actually can feel like a million bucks.

You can always find the sample that covers what you're hearing, but barely...it allows me to really concentrate on words.
