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

I've always felt it's ridiculous to say, of any of the females in my life: You're my friend, you're my wife, you're my girlfriend, you're my co-worker. 'This is your box, and you're not allowed to stray outside of it.'

I would never be able to live in a huge city. I'd feel like one of 100,000 people doing the same thing.

Every album I've done pretty much has been not in a pleasant, quote-unquote, environment - it's freezing cold, or it was somebody's house with not-that-great equipment. It's always something that spurs on to get the job done.

Some people consider the way Shakespeare was writing about Ophelia as erotomania-that she was delusional in thinking that Hamlet was in love with her. But I don't think so.

Onstage, I don't feel any glory from people clapping in the audience, but when they're pushing me to do something new that feels good.

We learn to beat fear by doing.
