The writing process is very much like being in a dark tunnel, and you don't really know what you will end up with until you have created it.

I do like touring but my life sort of starts to fall apart under it after a certain point. So you just have to stop. And it's hard to.

Life is passing you by as you speak, you're on a path and you're all on the same path toward death.

I like the idea of interviews where you just talk about stuff instead of where it's my chance to talk to my public through something else.

I see how 14-year old girls react to me and I think I'm a good role model. Rockstar maybe not, but I'm willing to play with it for a little while, until my hair gets gray.

I like the idea that you would participate in mainstream culture, especially for young girls and young kids who are looking for an alternative. It's not that I'm superior, but I know that my heart is in it more than people who get into music for other reasons.

I think more like Charlie Chaplin than like Jennifer Anniston.
