I still have this unrealistic faith, that one day, my ship will come in. More people will discover, understand and buy my stuff.

When people see you have a song on MTV, they think you are doing well - but you know, the way the traditional label deal was set up, it is really hard for an artist, unless they sold a lot, to see anything.

My mom wore the pants in the family, for sure. I always say, that I spent my childhood trying to get the love and attention of my mom, and now I can't get rid of it.

When I was on the big labels, I never calculated what would make me sell more records. I just did what I did -no different than when I wrote songs for myself in high-school.

I would go to heaven, if I believed in heaven.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a spy detective or a rock star.

I'm a bit of a lefty. I like the idea of art and music collectives.
