For the most part I stand by all of records. I just always like the one I've done most recently the best and I think that's the whole point.

I honestly don't remember the book well enough to register any surprise about anything. I don't remember anything being shocking to me.

Once you're an addict, you're always an addict, so just because I found something good to do doesn't mean I'm not going to hurt myself doing it.

That's something that I think as a songwriter you have to ask yourself - why you're doing it. The world certainly doesn't need more songs. Are you doing it just for your ego?

I'm usually pretty happy. I don't ever really get disturbed in any way, or feel like I need to go back and change something.

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

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