I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.

Even though I really admire what Beyonce does, and she's probably got one of the best live shows in the world - honestly! - that's so not my style.

The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.

It's really hard to be on stage and packing your gear when people who just saw you play are in the room, because they all just want to talk to you.

I listen to a lot of medieval music.

My great fear is that I'm the ultimate shallow person. I think about this kind of thing a lot, and about this phenomenon in our culture where people identify themselves with their interests. I've been trying not to think about it too much. It used to really upset me when people called me "witch house."

I don't have any money to hire actors. I just need to get people who are going to do a good job being themselves.
