I will never say the things that I want to say to you. I know the damage it would do. I love you more than I hate my loneliness and pain.

I tend to gravitate to the darkest or most obscure part of any venue in an effort to have my own space to experience the music on my own, free from unwanted conversations and other distractions.

I think that humans have a huge capacity to carry pain and sadness. There are things that haunt us our entire lives; we are unable to let them go. The good times seem almost effervescent and dreamlike in comparison with the times that didn't go so well.

Those who seek to profit by division don't stand a chance.

I think marriage is a boring and fault-ridden contractual obligation.

As performers grow older, I reckon there are two ways they can go. They can either be up there, playing more deeply from their guts than ever, or they can be phoning it in so crassly that it leaves a lump in your throat as you leave the venue at the end of the show.

Music keeps you young. Having music in your life keeps you open to things.
