I don't think there is anything hard at all about having a lot of songs. It makes it easier to be less precious about them, and know that everybody's going to want to work on some of them.

I'm very, very suspicious of anybody that finds a belief system that they feel can explain it all, for themselves or for anybody else.

I always listen to records that I've been a part of with a grain of salt.

What you once were isn't what you want to be anymore.

If someone uses the amount of time I spend in the public eye as criteria for what my music could possibly mean to them, they probably should take a long, hard look in the mirror and figure out why they need to think they're so special. Because I don't think anybody is that special.

I am an American aquarium drinker.

When I did do good stuff in the past, it was because I was able to transcend the parts of my being that weren't healthy.
