The history of music is nothing more than the history of art-music or classical music, the music that was commissioned by aristocrats.

Some guy is good at putting these verses together, and some guy is good at singing them. That's just the way it is.

I really enjoy playing music. I feel like it's something to try to give to people.

I don't associate much with anybody. I'm not big on all the teachings and groups and being a part of something, I guess.

There's this food that's evolved over thousands of years and people have made their own kind of thing, but it's not art-food, yet. It can be, but it's just food. It's the thing that people do because they have to, because they need it. I feel music is one of those things, too.

I wouldn't consider myself a songwriter at all. Maybe I piece together a certain little thing here and there, but songwriters are people who do this with sheet music.

I didn't have any intention of playing music for a living or anything like that. I was just not doing well in my head or whatever you call it and drinking too much.
