If something bothers me, it bothers me for a long time until I find a way to work it out. Music provided me with a means of working things out.

Turn off the TV and start digging around for information that's not from a corporation trying to make money.

My guitar is really tempermental. I don't give up on it though, I'm close to my guitar!

I don't know what other people are like, I haven't been able to crawl inside anybody else.

I honestly don't listen to a lot of music - I spend so much time working at my own music.

For a long time I was interested in being a social worker. In a lot of ways I feel that that's all my music is, trying to help people.

Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing.
