You can take a picture of New York and one person looking at it will think it looks really depressing, frightening; and someone else will look at it and think of all the fun things you can do in New York. I think songs are kinda like that.

I've been doing four-track songs by myself since I was like a teenager, where I'd sing in a way that I ... I just didn't think other people would like it, so I didn't play it for them but eventually I got over that, which I'm happy that I did, because it's kind of a drag to be playing a kind of music that you don't really like as much as another kind.

I went walking around the city some more, people watching with a cold, blank stare. And I saw your face in everyone, I swear.

I think the music business will eventually crush me, but I [smiles]... I'm ready.

Well, I try not to think about the general public since I have no idea what the general public is and I don't think anybody does.

If I seem to be reckless with myself,It's the fault of no one.All things have a placeUnder the moon as well as the sun.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head that seems more important than something designed to raise money to keep something going that keeps IV drug users from dying.
