I don't believe every download is a lost sale.

I always think its easier for me to write without thinking about the strict meter that's required for songs and song structures and things like that. It's much easier to just write on the page.

Avant-garde is the one area of music that has never changed. It doesn't mean anything.

I have always thought it was important to maintain some connection for myself to what it takes to make a song work by myself, to put a song across to an audience by myself.

When you listen to most of the records that really had an impact on you, they always seem to be from a different era.

The sublime moment seems to be only a product of allowing yourself to get through, to get to a lot of stuff in your life, write about a lot of stuff and not edit yourself. That is a great lesson to learn for anybody that writes or creates in anyway, to be able to make something without being good or bad.

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.
