The fact that somebody's telling you a story about people who didn't exist doesn't make the experience of the story any less real in your heart and mind.

May we all emerge from winter with our strength renewed and any unwanted pieces left under the ice.

It's a cliché to state that one should think like a child, but it's clear that kids know something that the world tries to make you unlearn later in life.

When I became conscious of being a person, when I was very small, I knew that I was from Indiana, but I had never seen Indiana. I was born there, but we moved when I was, like, a year old. I always had a sense of a place that was far away from where I was. I would research it and find out about it and I remember on Christmas morning I used to always call Indiana to find out what the weather was like; to see if it was snowing or not.

I'll keep making records until I don't have more ideas for records.

I think listening to a lot of Lou Reed when I was a teenager is what encouraged me to just sing however felt good to me.

Take dance music: I like enough of it and its history to be able to say a word or two about this or that record, but I'm nobody's authority.
