I'll always be making music. I'd like to do it my whole life - although I also love words and want to write short stories. But right now, my songs are kind of my short stories.

I get to see the world and try to make people happy. I'm very much of a wandering spirit, if you'll pardon the expression.

It's better when you have your wife with you, more fun.

Even the bands I dig don't have a history of attaining mass consumption.

I was hanging out with Jonathan Richman last night.

When there are no women on the tour it can get awful and ugly - constant horrible jokes and gross behaviour. It needs to be leavened with a feminine presence.

CDs, too. Totally corporate. They look real cheap and soulless and they don't smell of anything.
