That's the main work that I've done in my life - really wanting to get past that gender trap where there's a certain nudity in poetry. It's not about showing my soul, it's about observations.

I think a sexual energy is a positive energy.

Oftentimes the most produced and synth-tastic songs are the ones that end up sounding the best acoustic.

Lots of people take the option of not activating their own life, of really letting it happen.

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

I try not to focus on the gender issue too much but I think you have to acknowledge it in order for it to go away.

I love to read about music and about art, but I don't try and take things about mythology or guidelines as to how I'm to behave as an artist. It's the realm of intellectual debate. Actually, more and more my direction is trying to get further away from being self-conscious of what the parameters are of the mainstream, where it intersects with the underground.
