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

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

I don't care too much for thinking about the past. The truth is just another story. You can remember it any way you want; it's never gonna be the same twice.

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 don't think music is an art any more than cooking food is an art.

For a while, it was something to try to push at people, playing old murder ballads and being upset about everything I was seeing around me. But now I feel a lot more at peace with it.

I was kind of pathetic. That's what got me playing out in the street. I ran out of money and needed more gin for the night.
