Theres a bunch of Elvis Costello records that made all the difference between feeling like a total freak and feeling like ... only a freak. A freak among other freaks

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.

I don’t think it’s important who I am. I really like playing music, but I don’t really want to be anything in particular.

A lot of people are kind of depressed. I'm happy some of the time, and some of the time I'm not.

People are so... seem so chaotic internally, but being filtered through some form, like making a record, sort of filters it down into something that can be understood.

I'm the wrong kind of person to be really big and famous.

Playing things too safe is the most popular way to fail.
