I'm a big fan of British journalists like 'The Independent”s Robert Fisk, but it's hard to find voices like his in the U.S.

The idea that I wrote something that stood for the way I feel about things, and that it lasts, that's probably my favorite thing that I've done.

I look around for the friends I used to turn to pull me through. Looking into their eyes, I see them running, too.

Music itself is a great source of relaxation. Parts of it anyway. Working in the studio, that's not relaxing, but playing an instrument that I don't know how to play is unbelievably relaxing, because I don't have any pressure on me.

People look around you, the signs are everywhere. You've left it for somebody other than you to be the one who to care.

Coffee in the morning, cocaine afternoons.
