Life is simple unless we find a way to make it complicated.

I don't feel very good about myself. People always leave me. Nobody can stand me for very long. I wish I could cut my tongue out, or take out the part of my brain that has opinions. Or cares. I wish I could be simple. Be quiet, introverted, or shy. I'm half way in between a wallflower at a party and Elvis Presley. People love one or the other. In between is no place to be.

If you have twenty guys in the room and you just bring in one girl, you change the entire mood and everyone plays different.

If you emphasize one part of the song, it trivializes the rest of the music.

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

I think that most people, and by people I mean journalists, think that I pre-conceive everything and that I spend my afternoons dreaming up self-mythologizing points of interest.

People talk about wanting amenities - downtown is the amenity.
