You have a history of art-music that you equate with music. That's what I love about that term art-music. It separates itself from music-music, the music people have always made.

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.

I lived by a bay for a while, and I shucked oysters. Some packing things. You know, just whatever odd job you can find whenever you're moving around. I never really cared much for the franchise kind of work, so I'd try to find things that I considered to be a little more honorable.

Real music is what I consider to be uncorporatized music, the music that just happens. I feel like that's not a very well-known thing.

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

Working in factories and things like that, it just puts a little hair on your chest.
