Maybe we should all just listen to records and quit our jobs

You need a little resistance-something to fight against.

I probably could have a hip-hop-style entourage of 40 people coming with me to the club or whatever, and I don't do that. And I think sometimes maybe I should. It just makes things easier - if you don't like being by yourself, maybe just don't do it ever.

Do not trust people who call themselves musicians or record collectors who say that they don’t like Bob Dylan or the Beatles. They do not love music if those words come out of their mouths.

I don't think about my mom when I'm onstage. I just don't really think about my kids when I'm working, and when we press stop and I walk outside, they're the first things I think about.

I didn't really even think of recording under my own name for a long time. I thought, 'I've got the rest of my life to do that.'

It is the pursuit of happiness that brings us happiness, and not the happiness achieved.
