It's true that I can write a song and not really be sure what the meaning of it is.

To be a musician, especially a singer-songwriter - well, you don't do that if you have a thriving social life. You do it because there's an element of alienation in your life.

If you're an addict, it controls your life and your life becomes uncontrollable. It's boring and painful, filling your system with something that makes you stare at your shoes for six hours.

I am myself for a living. I don't animate a character.

I don't read music. I don't write it. So I wander around on the guitar until something starts to present itself.

All it really needed was the proper point of view. No one's gonna bring me down.

I gathered up my sorrows and I sold them all for gold. And I gathered up the gold, and I threw it all away.
